204. Yes opinions are rampants and some are based in codescention....
When some one chooses to do something that you see as "unintelligent" because you would make a different choice, you call that person unintelligent. That just being just being holier than thou. I am SURE that there are things you do in your life that I would not choose. Obviously smoking has nothing to do with intelligence. I used to work in a hospital. The number of doctors and nurses who smoke shocked even me, a smoker. Obviously those doctors and nurses aren't unintelligent. And neither am I. I hardly think I would have lasted 15 years as a network administrator in a publicly traded company, nor would I have graduated from one of the top universities in the country.

Also, I said in my post that I CHOOSE to smoke based on my own calculation. I smoke because I want to. So you are right - if I wanted to quit, I would. I don't want to. You may not agree with my choice to do something that is LEGAL but unhealthy, but my decision doesn't make me or anyone else for that matter, deserving of your insults.
