Why arent medical facts enough to convince people to stop smoking?
Because people are stupid. I am not trying to be insulting, but seriously let’s consider why someone would pick up a habit like smoking. First off, there is a wealth of medical research showing that smoking is incredibly harmful to one’s health. Second, EVERYONE knows that cigarettes are addictive. Third, NO ONE thinks smoking tastes or feels good the first time they try it. Therefore, a person has to make a conscious effort to get into smoking. Let’s review. Smoking is damaging, addictive and tastes horrible, yet some people still do it. The only possible explaination is abject stupidity.
