> I know many smokers that have different logic. They know how bad it is, yet for them it is not hard to quit, but they choose to smoke (often only occasionally or "celebratory" as some insurances call it). Many just don't want to quit, don't try, and accept the trade offs of enjoying their vice vs its harms.

I know some people who express the same. I just don't know very many at all who express the delusional sentiments from TFA.
