People like to laugh about it, usually at other people's expense.
Well, it does, because people think of it as a joke and they often don't want to be going to a doctor for something that is considered, maybe, funny to them. It's also an issue because of society and how people look at a snorer. Many men are viewed as a problem to their bed partner and yet, it is socially acceptable for a man to snore. And yet, a woman can be very embarrassed over her snoring. Yes, it does.
