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?

The narrator made a generalisation; all you stated was an observation. LudovicoTechnique Posted at 12:42 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 Yea that's an awful generalization. So no, I do not agree with that opinion .

My opinion or the book? ironicdreams Posted at 12:40 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 I don't know about most people. But I smoke because I'm addicted and like smoking. SpM Posted at 12:40 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 What a moronic generalisation. atarisrocks Posted at 12:39 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 no i think most people smoke coz they tried it through reasons like friends family image or curiosity and got hooked All 9 previous replies displayed.
