You know...this site is filled with beautiful women. Both the SGs and the members.
But I am absolutely shocked at the number of them that smoke. *sigh*
It is really sad.
I'm not trying to tell anyone they don't have a right to do what they want. But I really do not understand what possible reason anyone could have to smoke.
I'm in the medical field and I see people every day that are smokers. I see their chest x-rays. I see their VQ lung scans. I see their Chest CTs. I see their pulmonary function tests. I see their yellow fingernails and teeth. I see their prematurely wrinkled skin. I see the reports of their cancer markers. I see the oxygen tanks they are forced to carry with them everywhere they go. I've seen numerous autopsies of smokers and compared their lungs to non-smokers. I hear their croaking voices. I see their tracheal tubes. I see and talk to their crying family members being told that their loved ones are dying at an early age.
And I see young beautiful, seemingly intelligent people choosing to do this to themselves.
I don't understand it.
Can someone explain it to me?

It was limbo girls weekend. There are lots and lots of girls waiting, and actually there are more waiting now after the weekend.

Thanks again to each of you who commented. I wish I would have gotten someone to comment who actually does smoke and was willing to discuss their reasons, but it was apparently not meant to be.
