    I was against smoking until I arrived in the psychward. If you’re suicidal your health isn’t that important to you.

        As many as 80% of people with schizophrenia smoke. If you go to a psych ward everyone is a smoker.

            When you’re suicidal you do not care about your health at all and so because smoking feels good, they do it not giving a shit about the consequences.
