ORIGINAL: ranja Smoking is bad for your health, it simply stinks, i know there still are people who very much like to to it, but even they do not deny it is bad for your health... and if they can still smell anything at all they might even agree that most things smell nicer than cigs. the op's daddy rewards her by giving her a cancer stick if she is good she calls this creative control i call it stupid You know what else isn't healthy? Drinking alcohol. Eating fast food. Not exercising. Getting into rebound relationships. Being a stuntman. Being in the military. Bladeplay. Most types of sex. Being a boxer. Being a U.S. football player. Chocolate. Enemas. Germophobia.... Really, it's almost cute that you took your own personal issue and tried to paint it as a health concern, but it's so desperately short-sighted it falls out of the realm of anything rational. And, being fixated so overtly on a personal crusade over one thing that a human can do to him/herself as being unhealthy when it (doing something "unhealthy") is an inevitable and inescapable part of life...I call that "stupid". She's certainly bought a very heavy load of propganda. I'm not sure if being vulnerable to propoganda is equal to being stupid. I've met some very smart people, people I judged to be far more intelligent than myself, who were totally propogandized about one issue or another. That makes me wonder if the two aren't different creatures. Propoganda covertly engages the emotions while superficially appealing to the mind and people who pride themselves on their rational or intellect, unless they've been rigorously trained in critical examination, often seem unusually vulnerable to the "change you thinking through the backdoor" emotional approach.
