Why is it that with all the warning out there bout smoking people still smoke and it is not yet an illegal drug. And why is it around $32.00 to give up?? So costly.

I recently stopped smoking and I am very proud of myself. I did put on about 21lbs though. I am dieting and I have joined a gym but I am finding it very difficult to lose the extra weight, but I think at the moment, I would rather be fat than to start smoking again. I am so much more healthier than I was and I have lots more money.

Until you have experience with an addiction to any substance, you don't know what people endure, and how much they may hate that they do it, but they need it, or like the way it makes them feel. My parents were smokers for the longest time, and although I am sooo glad they quit, I know it used to help my mom relax.
I think people have the right to damage their bodies as they wish. Some people do it with food, others with alcohol, and others with illegal drugs.
I wonder how it makes smokers feel when the non smokers get bothered by the smoke, and by how awful it makes everything smell.
When my mom would wake up in the morning, and speak towards me, I thought I'd pass out from the horrible scent it would add to morning breath, as if something inside was decomposing.
Thank God those days are over.

Alcohol should be the illegal drug! Smoking does not cause people to act stupid and mean, and a pack of smokes is not gonna make me go off the road and kill innocent person/people while driving!!

I also don't understand why people still smoke with all the knowledge in the world shouting at them that it is dangerous. I don't have a problem with people's own decision to continue smoking - that's their own choice - but what I do have a problem with is that those people who still choose to smoke insist on blowing those clouds of poison in the faces of those who do not smoke. It is disgusting, dangerous and stinky! If you must smoke, keep your poisons to youselves guys!! I've made my decision to be healthy, you wouldn't like it if I roamed the streets squirting smokers with cyanide would you?!

People have a right to choose what they do and if someone chooses to smoke, that is their choice, it is their money, their body, their decision. I agree it is not good to smoke in public places etc but people can choose to do what they want. It is not up to you to be judgemental about what someone does to their own body, and besides. I bet you do things to your body that are not healthy either, like drink and eat junk food, you don't see health junkies having a go at you for your unhealthy lifestyle. Get off the soap box and worry about your own life and health.

People still smoke cos they either enjoy it, are addicted or both.
Just like alcohol, tobacco will never be illegal as its too profitable.
I'm not sure where you got the figure of $32 from as will power to quit is free.

Since smokers are so well informed of the harm they are doing to themselves (and others) then clearly, in order to continue to smoke is logically signature of a mental illness.
Since it is a form of harm that is directly and deliberately caused against the self then it is the single most nonsensical act a human is capable of. It is a mental illness.

what you are doing is encouraging Communism. If you don't like smoking than don't do it. I do not smoke but I believe in freedom of choice. If there killing them selves faster that is there choice not yours.Un controlled freedom is the only way to live.

You're really starting to annoy me now. Keep your rude comments to yourself. ANYBODY can answer that question: We still smoke because it is ADDICTIVE! Do you need the meaning of that word? I may be addicted to smoke but you're simply addicted to being an annoying person!
