Why is smoking prevalence higher among the lower socioeconomic groups?

    OP, do you make it your life goal to go around finding as many stats that slate the "lower socioeconomic" groups as possible? Between this thread and the last...

    According to one study, it can be summarised as poor self-control. Both smoking and "lower socioeconomic status" are correlated with "a weakness for activities that are profitable most of the time yet hazardous eventually". Can you visualise the consequences, twenty years from now, of actions you take today?

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    What is it with you and lower socio economic groups? First, the benefit cheats at the school gates (where you told a few porkies about your own situation), then the obesity and now the smoking.

    What's the fascination with people who earn less than you?

    Think OP has shot their load windup - wise.

    Pity.

    Doing quite well until this too.

    Most of the old boys in the Drones social club are tobacco smokers. They enjoy this lovely mild Turkish blend that only tobacconists and fine wine stores stock.

    Did your lover abscond with a member of the lower social class?

    Being poor is crap.
    So poor people seek out escapes more than the well off - booze, cigs, drugs, junk food etc.

    If you don't like it move on, don't contribute or block me. Whether you like these are very real issues and I believe further understanding would go a long way towards improving them.

    So, I take it you're at least middle class, in a good job, good education, 2.5 kids and a husband?

    Also, how old are you this time?

    No, they are not "very real issues". They are a trend. Trends change. That's the way life goes. You drawing constant attention to nonissues is like reading the Daily Mail or some other rag. You don't happen to work for them, do you?

    Why are lower socioeconomic groups prevalent with Montroseee?

    OP, don't start any more dole/class threads and don't troll this forum again.
