I am still struggling with that personally. I know that I want to quit one day...I'm just not there yet. Being called stupid, violent and anti-social certainly doesn't help me, that's certain.
All of this 'in your face' TV ads, and the anti's in FR just make me more determined to smoke then ever before. It's like thumbing my nose at them.
They will NOT tell me what I am to do and what I can't do. If it's legal, and I enjoy it, I do it. I would never have the nerve to get into someone's face without solicitation and tell them that "I" think what they are doing is wrong. Who the heck am I??!!
Takes a lot of gall from these anti's. And they call themselves Conservative. Yea, when the issue is what THEY like. Heaven help those when they disagree with an issue. Look-out.
The problem is that when someone pushes you to quit and demonises you for being a smoker it turns you into an "in your face" smoker" IMHO.
That's how I feel----I'm becoming a rebel for the first time in my life and I kind of like it.
