Prompt

Why do people encourage others to smoke/drink?

There are two reasons. 

1) There are evil, evil people in this world.  

2) There are gross pictures of livers, lungs, and internal organs plastered all over the net.  The reason people encourage others to smoke and drink is because misery loves company.  They know they're going to die, and by that time, they smoke/alcohol has killed off so many brain cells that they don't quit. And if they're going to die, why not just drag other people down with them? Why not ensure that they have company in death? They're gong to die anyways. Might as well bring friends along too.
