Didn't you always hate it when your mother would say, "Do as I say, not as I do." I think most people did! So why is it that people continue to be hypocritical?
I'm a respiratory therapy student and I just started my clinicals last week. Low and behold some of the therapists that I was working with, smoke... including the supervisor. Why is this such a big deal you may ask? They are RESPIRATORY therapists! Most of what they deal with are smoking related disease (COPD, Lung Cancer etc.) Here they are giving breathing treatments, lecturing, and shoving tubes down peoples throats to help them breath, and then the go outside and puff the cancer stick. I don't get it! How could you watch and treat these people day in and day out and not be scared enough to quit.
I understand that nicotine is a very powerful drug and that quitting takes a lot of work, will power, and they work in a very stressful enviroment but come on! Take a look around... YOU are gonna be one of these patients one day and you will only have yourself to blame!
And don't even get me started on the patient smokers... grrrrrr!
