The fact that smoking carries with it a stigma and is generally discuraged is what makes it appealing to youth. Furthermore, not all smokers tell kids not to smoke. I would never do such a thing and to so blatantly attmept to draw a conclusion for someone else is a terrible thing to do.
I think that people who smoke and who do not accept the related health risks are foolish. I smoke, but I do not wish to quit and I do not assume that it will not have ill affects to my health. Basically, if you're not okay with getting cancer, enphasema, etc. then you shouldn't smoke. However, if you don't fear death or disease, as modern society would tell you to, and you enjoy smoking, then I think that it's wrong for people to try to prevent you from doing as such.
