I voted up because I found it interesting and wanted to read it again. Starting to smoke might be a dumb idea, but doing so methodically is unusual and interesting.
1. The article was well written and presented a point of view that is not commonly presented.
2. When I was younger (teenage years I think), I had this crazy idea to start smoking in order to see if I had the resolve to quit. Never did though, cause I understood the adverse affects if I couldn't quit.
