Jumping off the empire state building: You're basically a few hundred feet above the New York Skyline, which is then a few hundred feet above the ground. And so no extra equipment = death. Same with smoking: You don't have any extra equipment, and it ends with death.

Wheras when skydiving, you have a parachute, you generally do it in a group, and you always aim for some sort of field where there are no obstructions.

That is a horrible metaphor.
Smoking doesn't lead to death in 4 minutes.
You don't KILL yourself. You just HANDICAP yourself.
Cigarettes don't kill, it destroys your lungs.

And you just CHANGED your whole fucking story.

By your logic, that's like saying that jumping off the Empire State Building is good because you like the feel of the air whooshing around you.

You just said they're doing it cause they WANT to. NOT TO KILL THEMSELVES.

This makes it look like people in 9/11 look like retards, you ass.
