But the narrator said something like "At parties I gravitate towards the smoker because, in this day and age, they aren't smoking to be cool or fit in, they smoke because they aren't afraid of death"... or something to that extent.

Do you agree with this opinion?

For me, it seems that everyone worth knowing at the moment smoke and it isn't because it makes them look 'cool' (tbh, the 'cooler' you look, the more vapid you are), I actually don't know why but the people that I like (which is .1% of the population) smoke (as do I) can anyone think of a reason why this is?

I don't know about most people.

But I smoke because I'm addicted and like smoking.

Throwing your life away does not make you brave, it makes you stupid.

I look ahead at all the plans that we made
And the dreams that we had
I'm in a world that tries to take them away
Oh but I'm taking them back

The narrator made a generalisation; all you stated was an observation.

I smoke because nicotine is a great stress reliever...I smoke more in private than in public, so it isn't image
