At the personal level smoking is an addictive habit, but it has benefits
- the smoker feels in charge
- the smoker feels relaxed (temporarily)
- smoking provides a break
- smoking facilitates social networking (a sense of belonging)
but of course there is a high price for this toxic activity
and this is health
- smoking cause serious illnesses, and this has been proven
At the collective level, we can also see the same pattern
- the excessive production is facilitating consumption
- owning new product feels great and empowering
- economic growth requires excessive production
- the whole concept of constant economic growth is unnatural
but here also there is a high price for this
- the high demands for new products is causing artificial obsolescence
- and the general economical activities aggravates pollution and global warming impact
