you are no fatalist. a fatalist doesn't argue, he doesn't need to make excuses for what he does and  that is what you do!

you make lots of points, but they ultimately are just excuses for you to keep smoking. i wonder why you need those excuses? i'm not judging you, i'm just tired of people bringing up things that are completely unrealated to the subject at hand.

 

I'm not arguing for myself nor making excuses. I'm arguing against the idea of this topic and the responses to it.

I've quit smoking for an entire year, just to see if I could do it. For me, I simply enjoy smoking.

Perhaps you may see my points as simply excuses for smokers in general, but I strongly believe that people are a product of their environment for bad or for worse, people often do not have a choice in what they do.

The pourpose of this thread was the OP asked us to support him to quit smoking and i tried to help, so you telling me i should not have done that because...?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
