I quit last year and bought a new car. It was very difficult, but I got sick and tired of having a useless and expensive habit.
It's tough and I would never lecture a smoker to quit. You have to want to do it.

I guarantee these same people will tell you that turd burglars make more money right up there with Prius drivers.

Oh my! You mean Congress passed the biggest regressive tax on low income people ever? Not to worry, they are the low information voters and won't figure that one out.

Did we pay for this study? (Just wondering.)That seems to be a common comment on all threads about studies.

Maybe he had a “thing” for gay minorities.

I think it’s always wise to question the funding of the study. However, given that there are likely over 100 studies showing a negative correlation between smoking and income (as well as education), I wonder if anyone can point to a study showing a positive correlation?

Or just maybe it has to do with motivation and goals.

According to this logic, former heron addicts should be earning more money than anyone.
After all, they’ve shown persistence, self-control and dedication by battling their addiction. Why aren’t all employers looking for their CEO’s at AA meetings?
There are lies, damn lies and statistics.
