If you knew it was bad for you (anyone ever hear any claims that smoking was good for you?) and you did it anyway....it was your finger on the trigger....so to speak.

Tobacco companies did actually used to claim smoking was good for you - I have read that some doctors even used to recommend smoking! Of course that isn't an applicable excuse today
I have another friend who works in a shop where they sell cigarettes. She has one regular customer who insists that she isn't given a packet with the warning label "Smoking causes infertility" - I think this is a very interesting insight into her mentality - she KNOWS that smoking causes infertility because she's seen the warning and mentions it when purchasing, obviously she BELIEVES the warning because it upsets her to see it. Her solution? Don't look at it and that way it mightn't affect her
