Back to the topic, I smoke to help me concentrate. It helps focus my mind and phase out distractions. More generally, it has been shown (don't have a link now) that teens, and by extenstion, the people who those teens grow up to be, with undiagnosed ADD will smoke to self-medicate, since they focus you.
With NY's smoking ban and a decided lack of ashtrays, the street has really become the only real place to put ciggarettes now days. I will always put out my ciggarette on a wall or something and throw it in the trash, but others usually aren't so careful. One girl nearly burned down our school when she threw a smouldering butt into a pile of dry leaves.
I understand why people would be mad/annoyed/whatever about smokers, but It always gets me that how in a society that has 'sympathy' and 'understanding' for most self-destructive or anti-social behaviors, such as eating to the point of obesity or commiting petty crime, people can't just lay the fuck off about somking. |
