Wow, i'm a non smoker for the record but i'm pretty sure "shaming" someone isn't going to achieve anything
Well its achieved 4 of my friends to quit, so I beg to differ
...What's that saying about 'with friends like these'?
In all seriousness though, I don't care what sort of behaviour, habit or thought process we're talking about - anyone who tries to 'shame' their *friends* into stopping something, is no friend at all. Let's just go around 'shaming' overweight people into not eating so much junk food and call ourselves their 'mates', shall we? All other discussions aside, I really think this group-think labelling of smokers/smoking as 'filthy', 'anti-social' etc is just PATHETIC. You know what's funny, is being so overly concerned about the potential for teenagers to take up an 'anti-social' habit because it's the social thing to do. LOL! Doesn't that just defeat the whole 'smoking is anti-social' argument? I would argue that tobacco is indeed one of the most 'social' drugs out there...
