Smoking is a very bad addictive habit.
I believe the Cigarette Companies ad a drug to the nicotine or the nicotine itself is highly addictive. It makes you feel good, relaxed and calm.....I smoked fro over 40 years...When I was a teen, it made you think you were cool and your friends thought you were cool and in "The In Crowd".. to have the thing hanging from your lips. Both of my parents smoked, so I thought it was okay....Everywhere you looked, there were Ad's on TV, in magazines, on Bill boards. Most of the people from my generation thought there was nothing harmful with it since it was "IN YOUR FACE,.....

I think that some people are pessimistic, they don't really care about their health and figure they're going to die anyway, be it from smoking or drinking or disease or accident. At least they're getting some pleasure from smoking; for some people who think their lives are pretty bad, it's the only thing they've got. You know, like people who are depressed often turn to smoking or drinking...

They know it's bad but most people don't quit because they have a smoking habit and usually can't cut it. All the same, they know clearly that smoking is bad for you.

It's an addiction. Some of them want to stop, but they can't. They feel like they need to smoke to take the edge off, and they are blind to the fact that they are slowly killing themselves.

I don't understand it either. It smells awful, and people who smoke don't look cool at all. I guess it's because they became addicted to it in a weaker part of their life.

Well,
Why do people eat processed food, or go out for fast food?
Why do people drink soda?
Why do people eat anything fatty?
Why do people waste thier minds watching t.v.?
Why do people dye thier hair?
Just knowing it is unhealthy usually isnt enough for people to stop doing something.

Why does anyone do bad things...wars,murder,rape, steal...always think there is a bigger picture...but i suppose while you're picking on smokers (who are damaging THEIR health and not YOURS)you are not out causing mayhem.

nicotine = drug
drug = addiction
asking them to quit is like saying hey, stop breathing.
