I commented in a metaquotes post that I find it strange and wrong to see nurses in large groups smoking outside the hospital every time I visit.

And some moron responds with a bullshit answer about how nursing is a stressful profession. LOL, WHUT?

You know what's REALLY stressful???

CANCER.
HEART DISEASE.
BIRTH DEFECTS.
ASTHMA (I ought to know).

How does ANYONE in this day and age, much less a HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL, think it is a bright idea to purposely inhale carcinogens??


PEOPLE ARE STUPID. There is no hope for humanity.

I volunteered at a hospital for a few years. FYI: the biggest smokers then were the respiratory therapists.

You know, it's funny. I smoked for 17 years (smoke-free for almost 2 yrs now) and even when I was smoking it would annoy me that you would see groups of healthcare professionals standing around smoking outside of the hospitals. I would think to myself - Hypocrites! But on the other hand, they are only human with bad habits themselves. When I smoked, I knew the risks I was taking but I didn't care b/c I had an addiction. Quitting was one of the hardest things I have ever done. It messes with you physically, emotionally and psychologically.
