Notes:

Somebody's been spamming the submissions post with old secrets, apparently (for what actual purpose, I'm not sure). Just give me a heads up and I'll take the repeats down.

Because they want to? Because they're self-medicating, perhaps for anxiety or depression? Because a lot of people think it looks cool?

I'm pretty sure there isn't a single smoking adult who isn't fully aware of the consequences, but they choose to do it anyway. They must have their reasons. People rarely do things "because they're just stupid, that's why."
It's not a choice I would make. It's a choice I asked my mother not to make because she was my close family member and thus I felt it was my business. It can be fairly objectively pegged as an unwise choice and a vice. But everybody has vices and makes unwise choices, they just vary from person to person. Most things seem like a good idea at the time.

Frankly, some of the best, funnest and most indulgent stuff in life comes with conseuences. There's something satisfying about a vice - you know its bad for you, you KNOW you shouldn't be doing it, but it feels so freeing to be consciously making a bad choice, and have it be yours, and not give a damn. It's like a fuck-you to all the good decision-making you have to make throughout the day.

Basically, smoking wouldn't be anywhere near as satisfying if it WASN'T bad for you. An important element of any good vice is that it has to knock a little time off that ticking clock, steal a bit of life. It's a deal-with-the-devil sort of situation.
