I was on the super market to buy goods. At the cashier station, i saw this man holding 5 boxes/rims of cigarette. While standing on a queue, i got the chance to read the pockets of cigarettes which has a sticker ticks on it saying "Government warning: Smoking is dangerous to your health." the other pocket what is written was " Smoking can kill." I am wondering if the man read those messages sticks on the pocket. What is really on this cigarettes that others can't stop it. Why does it still on market while Government warns that it is dangerous to our health?

As we can see, those who truly believes on these sayings are the non smokers themselves. I knew many smokers who do believe that smoking can kill. In fact, my bestfriend is, and she's a doctor already. Some who do not believe are obviously in denial about it. Maybe they believe on these sayings but they just don't care about it.

I can not fathom why on Earth people would still be smoking this day in age...no one thinks it's healthy (everyone knows it's unhealthy), and it can't taste good!!! I can't imagine it taste anything but vile!
so I just think, why on earth would people SPEND MONEY to smoke something that TASTES HORRIBLE, and that is ultimately going to KILL THEM.
I'm sorry, but anyone who smokes is crazy to me.

They believe but they don't mind; pretending that smoking is not bad and with the attitude like "to heck with it", "who cares" and maybe "whatever". Smoking is an addictive vice, and like some narcotics you'll get hook to it.

i think everyone reads them but being smokers they dont care. i used to smoke and i know it is bad for you but so is drinking and you dont see warning signs on the bottles. also driving can kill and flying. some people can smoke for years and some really healthy person can die alot younger.

Smoking is one hard addictive habit to kill. Smokers know the effect and even if you tell it to their faces I don't think the change of heart would come that easy. Some have their excuses and others are just tempted specially when people around them do smoke. It really boils down to the choice of an individual whether to stop or not.
