Yale University sociologist Elijah Anderson said people shouldn't "blame the victim" by denigrating smoking behavior without understanding poverty, its underlying causes, and a poor person's "limited sense of having a future."

The liberal text book answer to everything. At some point, you have to buck up and do something for yourself. Plus, liberalism is, more than any other factor, responsible for their poverty in the first place. Irony.

Nearly every poor person I have known smokes and owns animals (which have to be fed, etc).
