Smokers are a well known lot of people who have frequently been seen to demonstrate some bizarre anacronisms in their overall health habits. While a person who smokes may end up running sprints around the track or lifting weights in the gym, there is a strange sort of aura which permeates their belief in their own health habits. While a smoker might end up doing a few good things for their health, this is a little bit like a morbidly obese, bed ridden person who also “works out” with some sort of a wheel that they turn with their arms every day. The ridiculousness of it all is somewhere between laughable and genuinely sad.
After all, a smoker is basically doing one of the absolute worst things that a human being can do for their own health. They are essentially filling their lungs with carbon, as well as a couple of hundred other dangerous chemicals. There is seriously no other intentional act which a person can do to themselves which is destined to cause them as much harm as they are bound to suffer after the years of smoking have truly begun to take their toll. But of course, they always have the option to quit, and in time their lungs might actually recover at least a significant portion of their functionality.
Perhaps the craziest thing of all is in how completely avoidable the act of smoking really is. A person could easily continue their workouts, and eating reasonably well… and just stop this one horrendously unhealthy activity once and for all. Unfortunately, it is so very rare that a smoker genuinely quits, that it absolutely boggles the mind. Why a person would continue to do this to themselves is a mystery that the modern world has had a lot of trouble in answering. Perhaps the non-smoking world will just never know the real reason.
