Smoking and IQ

When I see someone smoking, I automatically deduct 20 IQ points and here's why.

#1 for 10 points off. You would have to be living under a rock to not know how bad smoking is for your health. I won't belabor the point here because if you're living under a rock, you're not reading this anyway. If you're NOT living under a rock, you already know.

#2 for another 10 points off. In this economy with the government talking about a $700 billion bailout and the price of food and gas continuing to climb, anyone who continues to fork over money for cigarettes doesn't have their priorities figured out.

I know nicotine is an addiction and it's tough to quit smoking. I also know long term health doesn't really motivate people to change. But when we start talking money, that's something that should motivate anyone and never more so than now.
