Does "willful ignorance" exist?

Asked by longgone (19543points) July 26th, 2015

Can it, really? Let’s say I was a smoker, and denied the negative effects smoking will have on my health. Either

a) I do not know about the health issues
b) I know about the health issues, but am pretending not to know

In either case, I am not willfully ignorant. I am either ignorant, or deceptive. I’m struggling to find an example of real willful ignorance. Do you have one?
