Extract from a report on the link between smoking and the poor in our society.
' ........: 'It is not that these people become poor and then irresponsibly take up smoking to make themselves worse off. About half of people in all income groups take up smoking, but the better off give it up while those in low-income groups find it most difficult, or almost impossible, perhaps because of the stress of poverty but probably because they live in a society where smoking remains normal.' The study shows that a marginal improvement in quality of life, such as being an owner-occupier, rapidly leads to people being no more likely to smoke than anyone else. 'This evidence suggests that it does not take very much in the way of social and economic improvement to inoculate the majority of men and women against smoking. 'It is when one disadvantage combines with another and then another that low-income families smoke in so much greater numbers. Put most simply, disadvantage doubles smoking.'.......' |

Facts it's very simple.
If you are genuinely struggling to make ends meet but smoke you deserve no sympathy. |
|
By:
Yes, it's easy to say that if you're not in their situation. ' common sense' rules don't apply..
It's widely acknowledged that when you have nothing, and you are in desperate straits , smoking is one of the only ' comforts'/ pleasures' left. |
