Homeless alcoholic has no hope.

How much can one handle before they give up hope and look forward to nothing except the next can of beer? What drives an individual so far that they lose all confidence in humanity? I pulled into a gas station and saw a homeless man who appeared to be in his early 40s sitting on the ground blocking the ATM while drinking a can of beer. The look on his face was one of someone who has had some really rough times in life and has lost the prospect of making a better future for himself. How does someone of a situation such as his ever recover from their downfall or will he ever?

Smoking and Gambling

I am not a gambler myself and am definitely not a smoker.
I have been to the casino many times and watched as people sit at the machines stuffing their cash into the slots with hope that the light and buzzers will go off alerting the "Big Win". Something else that I have noticed is that most of them are smoking. Is there a connection between smokers and gamblers? Is a smoker dumb enough to continue feeding their money to the tobacco industry just as fast as they stuff their bills into the casino pockets with the false hope that money will rain down on them. A gambler has a very small chance that they may win but the smoker has no chance in any benefit from filling their lungs full of toxic smoke and chemicals while the Tobacco Industry CEO's roll in the dough!
