I am confounded that no one addresses the cause of smoking.

At least they do to some degree with alcohol consumption.

When it comes to smoking, the experts have decided that it is because of addiction that people continue.

This is absolute nonsense.

Smoking is as much a case of self medication as is drinking.

I guess its because the experts have no personal knowledge.

Why is that 99% of schizo's chain smoke?

I know why I smoked.

It was because it changed me from being aggressive to being placid.

Yeh, now I'm not smoking so keep away :-).

Seriously, it frustrates me when so called experts are clueless.
