Why Do All The Models Smoke?

[AlmostFamous]

Who are we to judge?

Let them smoke if they want.

"why do models smoke?" is almost as insensitive as "why are all models anorexic"

You're generalizing, and that sucks.

I like to smoke because everyone else doesnt like it.

so you just decide to damage your own health because no one does... i'd support your thought if you'd even enjoy it but it looks like you're only trying to provoke or defy people or just looks stylish...which looks pretty weird to me.

I don't mind if people want to risk their own health but it is another thing if the secondhand smoke is bothering the people around them.

It's so unhealthy and people say they don't care, but they obviously have insecurities if they turn to smoking for anything, especially attention. It's not only unhealthy for the person smoking, secondhand smoke is terrible. People may think that they look cool, but they have no clue what people think of them. I don't care if I'm walking down 5th Ave and see someone wearing all Chanel with a Gucci bag, if they're smoking, I am nowhere near impressed. I wouldn't look down upon them, because I don't look down upon most people, b/c smokers can still be incredibly nice, but I still don't see why people think that it's impressive to smoke.

You must not assume.

I also have other reasons why I smoke. Keeps me thin and stops me from eating.

I frankly dont care what it does to my body. If I ruin my lungs I'll just get new ones.

My grandpa smoked from the age of 12 until he died at age 107.

I really dont want to live past 50

Who said it was impressive?

and honestly a wearing all Chanel with a Gucci bag should not be impressive unless you're ********.

haha

No Sh*t. Maybe some people could care less about what everyone else thinks. They are going to smoke.

When do people have unprotected sex when 1 in 6 people have an STD?!

Don't be impressed by whether or not they smoke/what they do or do not wear/ But think about what kind of person they are. And by smoking, doesn't make you less of a person.

I know! right on! I was shocked when someone said "smokers can still be really nice"....as if smoking is directly linked to someone's moral character or personality!?

It's an addiction

There are people addicted to drugs, some addicted to sex, some addicted to alcohol, some addicted to food.

In the end I think the people who can quit are the ones who really want to.

I chose not to because last time I tried to quit I gained 10 pounds.

Smoking isn't stopping me from going to the gym and doing cardio for an hour.

It maybe making me infertile, but who the heck would want dirty little brats anyway

 

[Acid]

oh come on thats a rediculous excuse!

you had to try the stuff to get addicted to it.....
i cant think of anything more wastefull and destroying than smoking

Get off your high horse because I don't care what you think of me.

and that is a rediculous claim. Care to elaborate?


Secondly, for the people who worry about second hand smoke. I recomend you tell the world to stop burning fossil fuel, making fast food, wasting gas, making unneccessary pills, burning forrests, tearing down forrests and jungles then you can talk to me about my second hand smoke.


Seriously read some books about the effects of globalization and war. Pick up a Chomsky book and learn about what is harming you and try to stop it.
