Jambutty, of course everyone knows that cigarette smoke is not the singular cause for the hole in the o-zone layer, that it is melting all the polar ice-caps & that your pack of Marlboro red is going to raise the temperature of the earth

What baffles me is the blasé attitude to the relation between smoking and the personal health of a smoker?
We've all seen the adverts with the man gasping for air on a life support machine & the one with the err..failure to rise to the occasion; so as a genuine question; why put yourself through the long-term damage for a quick nicotine fix?
