man that is a dark bleak way to view the world, I don't condemn it, but I also don't condone it.
People are not numbers.
I agree, it’s a terrible way to look at things and if someone actually thinks like that I would definitely assume they are a complete psychopath.
I just was trying to elaborate a bit on the point that that guy made. I don’t know if he came up with it on his own, but this whole issue is discussed in the movie „Thank you for smoking“
I would kinda disagree with you on the part about smoking being voluntary tho. Not a smoker anymore, but it’s by far the most addictive drug I know and I tried my share. I used to be quite addicted to Nicotine and it’s incredibly hard to get off it. To the point where I still get cravings years later when I walk past someone smoking. Most people start when they are kids and easily manipulated into it. Addiction is a sickness, not a choice.
