Answer 1

Smoking invariably causes cancer of almost all organs in the body. The most insidious sign of cancer as far as clinicians are concerned is a drastic loss of weight within a short time, and other signs and symptoms indigenous to the cancerous organ such as:
1) lung: coughing out of blood, breathlessness, chest pain
2) liver: jaundice, ascites
3) brain: blurred vision, cranial nerve deficits like vision loss, hearing loss, loss in neck movements, weakness in facial expressions and eating, loss of ability to smile etc.

In cancer, secondary metastases can also occur in other organs differnet from the primary cancerous organ, so any of the symptoms can present anytime.

It is important if you suspect you have a cancer, to see the doctor and allow him to run tests on you such as taking blood for cancer tumour markers and imaging studies such as chest or abdominal x-rays or CT scans to detect masses in the body.

That being said(sorry i misread the question, i'll leave it there as some information), most pple smoke as a sign of rebelliousness. They also smoke to feel one with the crowd of friends they may be in, and they can succumb to such peer pressures. there is also a prevalent feeling of immortality associated in young ages, esp the adolescent and teenage years, where societal pressures and conformist attitudes take precedence over logic. It can be argued that much of the cigarette companies are to blame as well, for they market cigarettes something cool to be associated with, and downplay the detrimental effects of cigarette smoking. Lastly, the addictive and relaxing effects of cigarette smoke chemicals notably nicotine, lead to addiction of smoking. relaxation effects cause pple to turn to cigarettes to calm their nerves, whilst the addictive effects lead them to have to smoke to avoid the withdrawal symptoms that result from nicotine avoidance.

Hope this helps. :D

Answer 2

Because we like to think we are special and rules like smoking leading to lung disease or cancer do not apply to us. We can handle it and we will quit before we get sick. My grandmother, grandfather lived to be 95 and died with a cigerette in their hand. Never mind they haven't been able to walk to get the mail due to shortness of breath, or have had to use oxygen all the time. Because we think if these 120 year old people in Russia smoked cigars and drank vodka all their lives, why can't I?

Go figure.

Answer 3

I never understood that either. A long time ago the cigarette company's said and marketed it like it dose not, so people had the attitude like we all have to die of something might as well die happy. I think it is changing now.
Most young people thinks it make you look cool, and they get hocked,

Answer 4

Watch the movie "The Insider". Cigarettes, particularly American ones, are very addicting. Many brands of American cigarettes are tampered with to make them more addicting by altering the nicotine delivery system of the cigarette.
