I don't understand the attractionSmaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

I do kind of understand thatI have never been really addicted to anything myself before so it is hard for me to truly empathise, but I would have thought that having 2 small children and a serious family history of heart disease would be enough to make even the most addicted person stop.

Impossible to empathiseIt's all about the helpless, relentless nature of the addiction. It turns intelligent rational thinkers into primative beings responding only to chemical signals. When the craving comes, the children and the family history are erased for that moment from the brain. As soon as the smoke goes into the lungs and the chemical fix is satisfied, then rational thought returns. The smoker feels like a pratt for failing. Consider in the history of smoking, how many attempts have made to give up. Billions. Emperically we are destined to fail.
