Probably because smoking is the most irritating of the lot. It sticks to your clothes even if you yourself aren't smoking, it sets off asthma, it irritates your eyes (like any type of smoke) and it's seen as a surefire addictive habit, whereas alcohol and eating unhealthily are seen as more controllable vices I guess? You can run off calories and you can drink tap water to flush out alcohol, you can't get rid of tar in your lungs.

Yeah and eating fruit and veg doesn't unclog your arteries - I know, but I'm trying to point out the differences in views on these different habits. All of them bar smoking have some kind of "oh but you can do this to solve the problem" response that seems to save them from as harsh criticism.

I guess it was cool back in the day, but we know more about the dangers now and society is going health mad. I most likely won't stop for a while though. The laws are already getting ridiculous regarding smoking and they'll only get worse.

One of my dads sayings was 'to be forwarned is to be four armed'
If you are aware of something you can protect yourself or guard against it....Wise words.

I think its the fact that smoking is so damaging to your health that causes it to have a such a stigma. The actions of the tobacco companies in the past probably didn't help things either. Heck, the way they act now is pretty disgusting!

Lets not trivialise this contentious topic...its not good for party politics to be seen advocating such a serious issue...

I'm not really arsed. I live in extremely busy life and I need a few fags to keep me going, ortherwise I'd probably go into a mental breakdown. It's MY choice to smoke, and will be MINE to stop. Certainly won't be giving up any time soon.

If you are not ready to stop don't, the more pressured you feel to the more you won't succeed.
