    People don’t say they will do anything for their children, they say the would do anything. You know, if circumstances were different.

      I think its actually a ‘would do anything, if it’s really neccessary’. But as long as no one knows really if i live longer or that i don’t get cancer in 5 years if i stop smoking, why should i stop? It’s about not taking action because of an not directly associatable outcome in an undistinct future.
