In junior high, almost 55 years ago, I would almost get beaten up because I would tell the "cool" kids how stupid smoking was :) The very idea of PURPOSELY BREATHING IN SMOKE should be enough to let anyone know how stupid and unhealthy it is, without even considering carcinogen content. One thing I've noticed in the past decades is that almost nobody over the age of 18 starts smoking, because by that age, they have some common sense and some resistance to peer pressure.
