It's not that easy

people have hard lives and smoking is stress relief and enjoyment

maybe if people had less stressful lives they wouldn't need a ciggie

I smoked for 20 years, quitting was not easy, but the world wasn't the problem, I was.

Drop down grades while repeatedly asking yourself if you want to be smoking for the rest of your life.

I'm glad your experience of the world is not a problem for you

for many people it is and they have few ways to cope with the stress and limited resources to change the world

a bit of understanding here would not go astray

and grades? you mean ecigs?

I'm talking about cigarettes.

Grade = strength of cigarette

You clearly do not want to quit, be honest about that, stop making excuses, and playing games.
