Addiction is addiction, and honestly it really is not something that should be judged. If one smokes it may not be as much their choice as you think it is. I give props to any person who takes the time out of their life to really sit down and make the decision to really try and put down an addiction like smoking, or any kind of drug for that matter. Yes it may have been a dumb choice to start, but that is a choice that was made by the person at hand. I have seen my friends going through hell and back to try and quit some of these things and I am proud to see anyone who has the courage to stand up to an addiction.

As for you Emo_Saur_ I really hope you can get things sorted out. I really know what it is like to feel that way, the feeling like you are being looked down upon for your choices can really get to you. Whether it be by co-workers, friends, family, or even people you don't know. Maybe some time away will be just what you need.
