However, he can't resist getting out and enjoying a sunny day, and putting on sunblock seems to him to be a major inconvenience. Which trend does Martin's current pattern of behaviour illustrate?

▸ The risks associated with health-impairing habits tend to lie in the distant future.

▸ People tend to rationalize high-risk behaviours by pointing out healthy habits that offset their unhealthy habits.
