Back to the car driving again? At least I'm prepared this time...
Driving a car, shouldn't and isn't by most, done recklessly. (If it did then we might still be riding on horses and bikes) However choosing to smoke guarantees a faster death so long as you don't quit, and even if you do your still at risk of an early death. Smoking will always be a reckless decision no matter how many steps you take to prevent hurting yourself and others.
Cars are the most advanced and continent means of short distance travel. You know there are ways of dissimulating yourself (if that's even a word) that don't involve long term suicide. Yes, there are other methods of travel available but a car is most convents since there are no bus stops or "taxi!!!" included.
Just because there are other things in life that are dangerous doesn't make cigarettes good for you. It doesn't even mean they're better, it doesn't-even-mean that they themselves should be legal.
Cigarettes are a personal choice indeed. But 10 years down the line, if a magical genie named ranking came down and asked whether or not they want to be smokers. Would they say yes they do?
I know what your saying, but many people choose to try cigarettes and regret it for the rest of there life's, and cant stop.
Here's something I learned quite a long time ago
A person, out of peer pressure, curiosity, or stupidity, may choose to try a cigarette, or 2, or 3, or four, its nicotine, not them, that chooses for the body to become a smoker.
I'll give you an example of such an occurrence
My mom tried cigarette such an occurrence
My mom tried cigarettes at 14. Why?, because her mother (my grandma) was a smoker herself. I don't know why SHE was a smoker. So out of the 3 I listed this was curiosity. My mom also told me she tried it because she wanted to know what they were like. In a project we were supposed to ask if they could stop themselves from trying it, whether or not they quit. My mom said yes. It wasn't her choice to become a smoker, it was the addiction that made that choice. She did manage to quit but only with the help of hypnosis. However some people don't swallow their pride and seek help, and end up dead before there time. But, if there going to die they better do it, and decrease the rising population.
