Tobacco users generally feel that it's worth the loss of lifespan(or that "I don't want to live at that age anyways", or "I'll beat the odds", or other such irrational arguments), and there's very few people who wouldn't pay quite a lot to arrest aging even if they couldn't reverse it.
Well it's been five days now so as a newly minted ex-tobacco smoker: There are plenty who can and will honestly say "My will is not strong enough". I was 21 before I ever smoked a full cigarette. Believe me when I say that there are people who know in their bones how stupid smoking is, who make no defense based on reasons they will own, they will stand behind, but who keep smoking nevertheless. Nicotine may not be heroin (and I'm not going to find out) but it is truly some good shit.
Don't start smoking kids.
Yeah... smoking kids is seriously frowned upon by your neighbors.
