Sometimes it amazes me the extent that people will go to for bad habits.
- For instance, when alcoholics will walk 5 miles to get to the liquor store.
Similarly, when people will spend their last dime on an addictive substance. Or, when people cannot stop gambling to the extent that they wind up homeless. I’m always completely mind boggled at the way that our brains can be hijacked by various stimuli. This is why I was especially shocked when my ex-boyfriend revealed to me that his parents were pack a day smokers. You cannot tell that they smoked when you entered their house, where the indoor air was always fresh, clean, and easy to breathe. Apparently, however, they regularly smoked indoors. I could not understand how it was possible to pollute their indoor air everyday without suffering the consequences of unfortunate odors and unwanted airborne contaminants. And that’s when my ex-boyfriend told me about their special indoor air quality control system that included specialized filtration units and UV light disinfection. Apparently, they were using high-powered airmedia purification devices that utilized expensive HEPA air filters at various points in the central heating, cooling, and air quality control system. They could stink up the entire house and the purification unit would effectively remove The Unwanted airborne pollution. All of this air quality control and HVAC innovation… To fill their lungs with cancer every day without irritating other people via terrible air quality. I think it would be cheaper to ditch the air purification system and invest in quitting smoking.
