smoking was the most stupid thing he ever did in his whole life....

The actor Robert Downey Jr. is still smoking heavily despite having given up a whole list of other addictions. The movie star who is famous for films such as Tropic Thunder and Iron Man claims that he has no intention of quitting smoking for the meantime.

Robert who is 43 years old has quit smoking previously for a short time but was quoted as saying and he wasn't sure that it was necessarily better not to smoke! Hmmm, if Robert genuinely believes that smoking is doing him no harm he is either far cleverer than the whole of the medical establishment put together or he is joining the ranks of other celebrities like Kate Moss and Patrick Swayze who going to the denial mode in order to justify their smoking habit. Robert explained that he did a lot of weight lifting and martial arts, that he had personal trainers and went running as if somehow this would negate the cancerous and general debilitating effects of cigarettes.

If you ever want to fully understand the powerful addiction that cigarettes can produce over people you only need to see and hear a smoker in denial such as Robert. Despite his friend Patrick Swayze being close to death from cancer of the pancreas which is directly linked to smoking, Roberts is still being flippant and nonchalant about his smoking habit and its dangers.

The sad fact is that when Patrick Swayze is all alone he must regret smoking terribly. Maybe his pride won't allow him to admit it to anyone else but he would give everything he owned if he could replay his life and quit smoking.

When Robert Downey Jr is on his deathbed from a smoking related disease he will regret smoking terribly.  He will realise that by trying to be cool and giving off the impression that he couldn't give a damn about smoking was the most stupid thing he ever did in his whole life.

If you are a smoker the only time to quit is right now.
