why do people smoke?

Question

why do people smoke, dirink, and take druges. they know it's bad and will kill them

Answer 1

i know i'm gonna die of something no just kidding. smokers and drug users started doing it to be in the "in Crowd" got hooked and cannot stop or do not want to stop. some of the people thinks it helps relieve stress or thinks that it makes problems go away when all it really does is create new problems and a whole new stress level cause they need that cig. , beer, or hit

Answer 2

Because it's cool and it feels good. Well, it does feel good, anyway.

BTW, drinking responsibly won't kill you, and most studies show that it's actually good for you. I personally think it makes you smarter. It's only the hardcore drinkers that have problems. But I drink almost every night and am healthy; but I rarely get seriously drunk. I'm in my mid-30's, but look like I'm in my mid-20's. I used to smoke too, but gave that up a long time ago, because it's pretty stupid. I'm even drinking right now, and my spelling, grammar, and knowledge is significantly better than yours.

The secret to life is moderation. But even moderation needs to be taken in moderation, so sometimes it's ok to go a little crazy. Just a little, anyway. But moderate drinkers are healthier than non-drinkers. It's a fact.

Oh, and if you're under-age, don't drink at all. I used to do that, and it's terribly stupid. I really should have died from my under-age drinking, doing things that I'd never do now. Not that it's necessarily more dangerous physically. But young people really are much dumber than they realize. And unfortunately, it's hard to understand that. I'm lucky to be here.

Answer 3

I'm not sure, I smoke, I started when I was 14, I'm now 44, when I started it was because all my friends was doing it, and it did look cool to me back then, but know I pay for my smoking, done had Minnie strokes because of smoking, you would think that I would have learned something, but yet I still smoke, but trying to stop. so I would say the reason is

Peer pressure and
they think it's cool- but its not.

and I have no ideal why people do drugs or drink, maybe for the same reason, but I have to say it is all bad for a person. to do any of these things.

Answer 4

people due these thing out of being insecure with themselfs not realizing that it causes more problems

don't start any of them

Answer 5

Its starts with peer pressure..friends do it and you do it too not realising the damage it can do or the habit you get stuck with that is so hard to cure.

Today with so much publicity about smoking, etc...its only a fool who will start smoking.

We watch older people trying so hard to give up a habit they started when it seemed OK to smoke...

Please don't start smoking thinking its a grown up thing to do...believe me...its not...

Answer 6

I think it's to pass time and they like to do something so they won't feel useless which they end up being :) It can also be peer pressure if they are young, or to blind themselves thinking they are having fun that way or to look cool..
