Not sure I understand this post and I would like to. Would it be better if it were "small tobacco"? What about those that "choose" to quit? Are they equally powerless in their choices? Are they only making intelligent decisions when they choose the path you believe is best? Why would they need to rationalize their decision? Isn't just "I want to" sufficient? "I want to" works for alcohol and skydiving...why not smoking?
This may appear to be confrontational, but it really is a search to try and understand the other position (I do smoke an occasional cigar, but nothing else)
The meaning of powerless is this; how many are successful in quitting? a very small percentage. Tobacco companies make sure of that. This is news to you?
Not sure I get the skydiving analogy, must be more smokers rationalization. , Smoking is a chemical addiction. Again, you have to be told this?
Off my soapbox now. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
