Answer 6

I've never heard anyone say that smokers may be mentally weak or prone to sudden outbursts of rage. Yes, some smokers may feel they're invulnerable to smoking-related illnesses that require medication.

If I understand your last question, you need some examples of nonsmokers feeling they're invulnerable.

Nonsmokers believe they may be invulnerable to:
cancer
COPD
bronchitis
frequent colds
pneumonia
addictions
social ostracization

Social ostracization means being shunned by one's peers and society in general. Those who are socially ostracized are considered outcasts and not permitted to associate with others.
