Either they can’t give up or they are just afraid to try...

There is so much anti-smoking literature out there, so much evidence that smoking actually causes cancer, heart disease and a whole list of other illnesses as well as being a major cause of death that if you think about it objectively only stupid people would even consider smoking. When you consider the statistics that show that smoking is likely to cause you serious health problems over time it makes absolutely no sense to smoke and therefore could it be said that people who smoke therefore are more stupid than people who don’t?

At Ukmedix News we believe that a lot of people who are still smoking are actually ashamed and embarrassed about their habit but their urge to smoke outweighs the fact that they feel a little bit stupid lighting up. Some smokers will be very vocal about their right to choose and their right to do what they want, however the fact is most of these people do not choose to smoke but are in a situation where either they can’t give up or they are just afraid to try.

One of our writers at Ukmedix News said that the thing that really got to her when she was a smoker was that she knew she was an intelligent person yet every time she lit up a cigarette she was making an extremely unintelligent action and this was something that she did not want to be branded with. There are no surveys to prove this, but at Ukmedix News we reckon that if IQ tests were done on a large group of smokers and another set of IQ tests were done on non-smokers, the smokers would have much lower scores. It’s worth thinking about anyway!

These days the fact that you smoke often betrays a character weakness, and lack of willpower and it really is not cool to smoke at all now. We know it's difficult to quit but there is help out there and the very fact that you make that first step to get help to quit smoking shows that you're not that stupid after all.
