It doesn't block it, but gives an artificial emotion of happiness, perhaps?

Think about that; how is the enjoyment from a smoke different 'artificial' from, say, enjoyment of a piece of chocolate, a sip of coffee or pay-day?
It makes me as happy as painkillers do. That's a lot of artificial happy

It is not just smoking; we are moving more and more to prescribing how people should live.
What they should and should not eat. How often to excercise. How many calories is "normal" or "healthy". Which side of the road to drive on.. Aight, the last one might actually be a good idea. Still, there is a tendency to expect 'everyone' to strive to the 'ideal'. We're continously told what to do in commercials and ads*, so no surprise there. Political correctness ensures that the traits deemed "good" are encouraged - although the idea of what is good will vary over decades.
I'm a smoker; lots of people with Crohn's disease are. Yes, I am aware of the consequences.

I'm a bit late to the party but I agree that regulating how we live has gone to the extreme. Not necessarily through the government but it starts at home.
I noticed that lately since any time my girlfriend and I go to a family gathering/birthday celebration whatever there is, there is bound to be someone not asking politely but enthusing about us getting married and having kids.
It's like everyone is just ecstatic about it happening and they always go: "Well isn't it your turn now?"
And people seem insulted when we say it's too early for us now. They are even worse if we say that we aren't planning on getting married at all. Maybe if we feel like it someday. It's not the same as having a law about it, I know that, but the pressure from everyone is just exhausting sometimes - well smoking helps

Why are you encouraging my smoking?

A doctor on his morning walk, noticed the very old lady sitting on her front step smoking a cigar, so he walked up to her and said
"I couldn't help but notice how happy you look! What is your secret?"
"I smoke ten cigars a day" she said. "Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint. Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels every week, and eat only junk food. On weekends, I pop pills, have sex, and I don't exercise at all."
"That is absolutely amazing! How old are you?"
"Forty" she replied.

I guess I need to explain my whole statement then. The title of the thread and first statement leads the reader (you) to believe that the article is just another story of gun violence in Chicago. The next bit ("Wait, what?") implies that the aforementioned assumption is indeed wrong, and the article is in fact not about gun violence.

The Telegraph wrote: "The fact that the score can be measured online in a brief questionnaire, without any need for lab tests or physical examination, is an exciting development,” said Dr Ganna. It is not the first time that a set of 10 questions is used to categorize resultsets into predefined blocks, defined by statistics. It is also not the first time that a questionnaire is done over the internet.
So, what exactly is exciting?
