Alcohol and cigarette stamp

Description

Every time I tell somebody that smoking or drinking won't make them look cooler or older,most of them answer "Alcohol and smoking helps me to forget my problems".
BULLSHIT.
I mean,what kind of problems can a teenager have?
Broke up with girlfriend/boyfriend?Parents didn't let you go to the party or you FAIL at school?That's not a reason to smoke or drink.
I had to go through worser problems,but that doesn't mean that I have to spoil my health,right?
If that's the way you "fix" your problems then you're weak.If you admit that and don't want to do anything about it then you're weaker than I thought.
And I hate it when on "This will shorten your lifespan" some people answer "BAAW I don't want to die healthy".Well ain't that stupid?I better die healthy,but I'll live 20 years longer then you smokers and alcoholics.
And I have a reason to hate them,especially smokers.
Not only they kill themselves slowly,but because of them passive smokers have a bigger risk to die or get a cancer.
Die and don't make other's lives misery.
Thank you.

And btw.If you want to solve your problems then hit your head by the wall.It'll help for sure.

Feel free to use this tamp xD

If this were a stamp made now, I would probably give you a lecture, but it was made almost a decade ago and the person who made it was likely a kid themselves, however, I still feel the need to say this in case anyone agrees with it and feels the need to put it on their profile.

Alchoholism and smoking (and drug addictions for that matter) are absolutely not simple problems. They are systemic, and also have ties to class and mental health issues. For example, say you grew up with parents who drank and smoked - then you are more likely to do these things yourself. Why? Because you internalized that's perfectly okay behavior, even if you are supposedly taught otherwise. 

In my case, I grew up around adults that drank and smoked regularly, sometimes right in front of their children, and when I got older - after years of trying to not go down that road despite the many issues I had - I eventually caved and started drinking and smoking. Did I know these things could potentially kill me? Yes. Did I give a fuck? No. Because I already wanted to die anyway, so why shouldn't I speed it up a bit? It didn't help that I had easy access to these things.

Obviously I've gotten better and I'm trying to either cut (or more accurately, cut down on) these toxic things out of my life, but hopefully I've made my point. I'm not saying that these things are okay, but people should probably think a bit more on the root cause of these issues in the first place rather than condemning it entirely.
