Why do doctors smoke, eventhough they were taught in medical school that it causes lung cancer and such? Why do singers smoke, eventhough it is awful for their voice/career? Why do people in general smoke, when they cough when they have their first puff from a cigarette?

Why do people think it's cool? If someone sees another person smoking, they don't think that person is cool. They give the person a dirty look, like, "Ew, do you knoow how many people die because of you smoking? 5,000 people a year die of second hand smoke!"

They prob. started smoking before they were doctors...i think some kids think it is cool...It becomes a habit, then a very bad addition......I don't really want to call them stupid, because I don't know if I could quit if I smoked. I can't even be around smoke...makes me sick.

It's not stupidity obviously. Have you ever heard that cigarettes are addictive? Doctors are smart. Smart people sometimes make poor decisions. If you don't smoke then don't start and you will be OK. It should be fairly obvious that since everyone knows that cigarettes are bad for you, it should be an indication of how addictive they are. I'm tired of people hating smokers. I wish I didn't smoke but I haven't been successful quitting YET! If you really want people to quit smoking try having some compassion for them. I really don't feel like cooperating with someone who thinks I'm stupid for smoking. I don't like it when people call me stupid ever. The truth is that you don't really care if people quit smoking. You have just found something that you love to hate and that's what you do. If you really care about my health then show that you care by not calling me stupid.

Most people that do something that they know isn't good for them secretly hate themselves or hate the situation they are in or are trying to suppress some kind of internal pain. It's an emotion regulator...just like alcohol, drugs, food, shopping, etc etc. That's why you hear people who smoke justify it (I don't want to gain weight, I need a smoke because I'm stressed, I can't get through this issue without a smoke, I'm bored, etc etc etc.

Because nicotine is a very fast and hardly addicting drug. Most people start smoking to act like their friends, or people they want to look like, and it's too late when they realize how bad smoking is.
