A ciggarette does not taste good, it does not give you any high. THe only thing it does is alienate you and cause illnesses.

teenagers smoke because there parents tell them not too! its that simple, it gives them that bad boy/girl feeling, then the get addicted by the nicotine in the cigarette. once you start smoking you don't really notice that is smells bad and tastes horrible! also for a teenager doing something that they are not supposed to IS a high for them, that's how they get hoked.

I just quit, so I feel i can answer this pretty good. It is an addiction, and it does make u a little high. Nicotine is a stimulant, so it can help wake you up and sharpen your attention span somewhat.
The taste is something that is aquired, and u begin to like it after a while. The amount of withdrawl that people go through is pretty bad in the first few hours of trying to quit, and it is a huge reason why people go back to it.
There are physical, behavioral, and psychological addictions when dealing with cigarettes. Physical being mainly the nicotine withdrawl. Nicotine is completely out of your body after 3 days of quitting, but then the other two come to be in full force. Behavioral is HUGE. It encompasses everything about smoking. Here are a few of the things that you began to associate cigarettes with: friends u smoked with, coffee and a cigarette, after eating, waking up, break time, stressful times, needing a comfort, helps to relax, and mostly it is a friend when none are around.
Psychological deals a lot with denial and telling yourself that you are no longer a smoker. The psychological aspect of temptation is that your self talk is saying that one wont hurt or that I can quit tomorrow so it is ok to smoke today. It is a procrastination that you have to say, "today i'm quitting. I dont care if i'm put in a padded room."
Though it has been three weeks for me, I would love to smoke now. I know it is just bad for me and has hurt my health for over 5 yrs.
Hope this gives u some insight into the madness. Smoking has been equated to being a heroin addict or a crack addict. It is very difficult to quit, and i dont envy anyone going through withdrawl. I had to keep telling myself that if I waited a little while this pain would pass as well.
Think about u really wanting something really bad. A craving. Chocolate or whatever. Now quadruple it. That is what is like to really want a cigarette.
Later

For various reasons
- it's simply a habit/addiction they can't control
- to relieve daily stress
- depending on the nature of their group of friends, they might be influenced to do it to look 'cool' and fit in (truth is that smoking does make some people look more attractive than usual)

o finally! a good question. but unfortunately, i can't answer it. i'm a professional musician (and a wind player) so smoking would be the end of my career... besides the fact that the smell alone makes me sick to my stomach (and would kill me in the long run if i were around it long enough) it's just people overcome by an addiction i guess. and that everyone thinks they're immortal... i just wish they'd realize what they're doing to themselves.

I quit smoking a long time ago, but I guess I started when I was young to "look cool" and fit in with my other friends (peer pressure). Then it became a nasty habit that I'm glad to be rid of.

Why do you butt into other people's business? If smoking alienates me from judgemental control freaks like you, then light me up baby!

They get addicted... that's it. You start putting weird chemicals, like rocket fuel, into something someone smokes and I imagine people will start doing all sorts of stupid stuff.
Personally, I think its an attempt at genocide.
