people smoke for a variety of reasons, ranging from peer pressure to needing to calm one's nerves. Mostly, however, people smoke from habit. It used to be very socially acceptable (if not expected) to smoke and was viewed as a sign of sophistication which is why many 13-15 year old kids start. The problem arises when many (not all) smokers become physiologically dependent upon the nicotine and other nasty chemicals in tobacco. As for hating the person who "made smoking" please be assured that no one person "made" or "invented" smoking. Tobacco had been grown in abundance (it still is) long before Sir Walter Raleigh introduced Europeans to it. He did what was viewed as expected and proper at that time so, please, try not to "hate".

I used to smoke and it is the worst thing I ever did. I hate being around it now. It smells bad and passing people in stores that smoke makes me wanna vomit. I can't believe I ever did something that makes you stink. :( But I don't have a problem with people smoking, just don't do it around me. I think too many people think that have a right to smoke--which they do--but for those of us that do not smoke, we have a right to breath fresh air. I wish they would just ban smoking from any public place in the whole country. And while driving too. I hate stopping at a stop sign or red light on a nice day with my windows down and the person in the car beside me blows their nasty smoke in my car. EWWW!!!

I feel your passion, but your questions are very unintelligen sounding. People smoke (what)? Making smoking? What's that supposed to mean. "I hate the person that did!?" is not even a question.
People smoke (cigs) as an anti-stress mechanism. It lets them focus on something else.
Smoking has existed for basically since fire was discovered.

Well in my opinion people smoke because they probably started when they were young and thought it was cool to smoke. Then once they get hooked on it, they keep doing it.
My father has been smoking since he was just 14 yrs old. He's 53 now and he's been smoking ever since. Me and my family have tried and tried to get him to quit. But he says he just can't give it up. It really makes me sad to think that I could lose my dad one day because of his terrible addiction.

I smoke because I want to. No one knows who was the first person to create a pipe and smoke something in it.
How can you hate someone you have never met?
I just LOVE how tolerant of MY PERSONAL SPACE the goody-goody non-smokers are.
