Many Smokers believe they continue to smoke because of their self-destructive attitude.
They actually want to get sick. Some say they are afraid of reaching old age. Others arrogantly vow to continue smoking until it kills them. While some people do have emotional problems which lead to self-destructive behavior, I believe the majority of smokers with this attitude are not in this category. Most make these statements to hide their fears of not being able to give up cigarette smoking.
