Impulsive Behavior and Smoking

According to a study conducted at Nationwide Children's Hospital, people who would rather have money now as opposed to a higher amount of money later will also be more likely to smoke. This study demonstrates an interesting link between a person's need for instant gratification and their likelihood of smoking, and it also shows the importance of teaching the immediate effects of smoking, rather than just the long-term consequences.

@dirtydonki I bet this is coming from a person who stuffs their fat fucking face with fast food and ding dongs. People have vices, deal with it.

Animals have very little impulse control. That's what makes humans a special species. Most humans can delay gratification and control their primitive impulses. People who are impulsive, like this teen, are more like an animal in their behavior and personality--and less like a human being.

Makes perfect sense!

People need to first recognize this about themselves before they go into parenting or else they'll be ill equipped and their kids will repeat the same vices.
