Let's be real,we all know that smoking is bad,but why do people indulge themselves in it?

Question

I mean, we know how dangerous smoking is and it is probably more dangerous than eating junk food...

Yet millions of people slide to different outlets just to have their puff!

What's amazing is that the first puff is always uncomfortable or even painful,why did'nt first time smokers quit right that day?

Many smokers witnessed the addictive abilities of smoking before they started smoking, but they eventually smoked.

What's so disappointing is this:

Most smokers started to smoke when they were immature,say +- 12 years old, and have now matured but they are still doing something they started to do when they were immature!

Knowing the possibilities of lung cancer,throat cancer and bad breath,they still go on smoking?

What could be the cause of all this?

Answer 1

some people start smoking to get rid of their problems, some smoke watching their friends smoking and all of them know the side effects of smoking but they still do smoking. i think there is no solution to stop smoking in all over the world.

Answer 2

I'll tell you honestly, I started smoking when I was seventeen, mostly out of boredom. Now nearly ten years later, sometimes I still have one out of boredom, sometimes it's a nice break from stress, or a nice reward after cleaning the entire house or some such thing. And it is an addiction. And it's also legal. I pretty much smoke because I can, and it's something I know God will kick my butt for eventually, but right now I don't want to quit. I don't know about anybody else, that's just me.

Answer 3

I have been smoking for nearly twenty years.I think about quiting daily but it is very hard.At the time I started smoking was pretty wide spread and there were no social stigmas put on it.It was considered rude to ask some one not to smoke.
It is a physical addiction so when you try to quit you have major withdraw symptoms.Most of the self help things don't work well and cost a lot.

Answer 4

I think once they posted the warning on a pack of cigarettes any one that started smoking for what ever reason (addictive tendencies) they have, they should not be able to receive any cancer treatment via the government. Go knock on Phillip Morris's Door and see what you get.
If parents smoke around small children and the child developes a breathing disorder then the child should be able to take that parent to court for restitution for damages.

Answer 5

It's much easier to lose weight than quit smoking. Hell, I quit using hard drugs, cold turkey, and cannot quit smoking. It's a terribley addictive habit. I've tried, a few times, and yet to succeed. The only time I did was when I was pregnant and started right back up again.

Answer 6

People don't believe or don't care that something bad will happen to them down the road, like soldiers, cops and firemen. My father smoked got a cancer. Had it removed and started smoking again and HE IS VERY HEALTH CONSCIOUS!! Smoking is very addictve and it is a slow pioson so the danger is not aoarent.

Answer 7

Smoking is good for you...
But it is better if you don't smoke.
LOL!!!!!
No' seriously, I know that smoking is bad for health etc but I'm puffing not because i wanna look cool and macho, it's because I was bored and smoking calms you a bit.
But still SMOKING IS BAD FOUR YOU

Answer 8

most of them deny the health problems.
Others say "I'm trying" (yeah they've been trying for 20+ years)
Still others find it too difficult to bother with.

Seems to me that giving up smoking would be easier than loosing weight. You can live without cigarettes but you can't live without food.

Answer 9

Satan wants you to smoke so you wheeze and get short of breath so you can't praise Jesus. Plus the main part of Satan's portfolio is in Phillip Morris.

Answer 10

I feel like luv, just above here. I wish I wanted to quit but I love it so much. You make some wonderful arguments. I wish someone could say what I need to hear to make me WANT to quit.
