Success Or Death? It’s Your choice
The large amount of people who smoke in Israel is unfortunately alarming. Although I do not have the statistical evidence to substantiate my claim, ubiquitous smokers are strong enough anecdotal evidence. Here is a picture from the duty-free store in the Tel-Aviv airport proving the unfortunate popularity of cigarettes. Tremendous amount of real estate is taken with beautifully displayed, almost candy-like, stacked cartons of cigarettes.
What intrigued me further was the fact that each carton had huge letters and fonts displaying on each: “Smoking Kills”, yet you would think they were giving them away.
What is it about human nature that:
- Even when individuals have clear and factual evidence that prove they may be in danger or possibly even death, they still elect to do it?
- Even when organizations and leaders have been proven that there is a “better way”, they elect to either not do anything or select the more economical non-proven way?
