Well maybe it could be considered manipulative, but if you think about it, wouldn't you want to hire an agency that understands your mission rather than one which tries to sell you on it's own ideology?

The hospital I was at allowed only smoking, no vaping, and during the prior 4 months at BTS I was constantly vaping so the moment I got to Reasons (the place I had to go) it was like a brick wall of anxiety, and I was already panicked and crying that I had to be there and away from BTS. Not to mention, my time spent in the smoker corral talking to the other patients really created very strong bonds between us.

My mom was not happy about it but she knew it was really imperative I figured my shit out during that stay. BTS is not going to take me back if this happens again, my mom doesn't want me living with her (and I DO NOT want to live there anyway) and my insurance is basically gone. So it was really really pivotal for me to do some deep soul searching and cigarettes felt like a small price to pay. PLUS, fucking reasons ended up coercing me to start eating again by holding my smoke breaks hostage and that lit a fire under my ass.
