Answer 1

I used to smoke because it made me feel cool in high school. It made me feel like a bad ***. I quit when I got pregnant at 17. (Figures, for being a bad ***.) Lol. When my son turned 9,
I started smoking again to deal with the stress of life it calmed me down. When my body got used to the cigs I just started feeling sick eveytime I smoked. It did nothing for me anymore. I would only smoke 7 to 8 cigs a day. I guess I wasn't really addicted to them. My son tried them at age 15. He came over with some of his friends and he said "right mom if i wanted to smoke you'd let me? " stupid me says Yes. I wanted to be the cool mom, open minded. Wanted my son to be the cool kid. He was being pressured to smoke. My son smoked for 2 weeks straight. Scared the %$%% out of me. Thank God he said "Mom this really sucks and it makes me feel sick." I let him make his own decision. The point of this awfully long explanation. IT'S USUALLY just us kids wanting to fit in. lol

Answer 2

More to the point is why do young people still start smoking these days with all the information around these days. In my day it was seen as cool it was not seen as a health problem even when you were pregnant the Dr's would just say your baby may be a little smaller not so with me so why give up.These days there is so much information about it and like any other drug you know that.

Those 1000 poisons are in are drinking water, the food we eat and the air we breathe, so what's the difference?

Answer 5

peer pressure, thinking it makes them cool, simply thinking its fun and getting addicted to it, and many other personal reasons like wanting to relieve stress ... sad fact that it kills u or makes ur life miserable and i dont know why all people havent quit or tried to quit yet

Answer 6

as mentioned in ads ,,i feel guys smoke to feel like a man...i suppose coz they say it like that in ads.well i feel it is a means to draw away pressures ,tensions and depressions.it gives a soothing feeling.
this is only my imagination ok,i dont smoke....

Answer 7

We tried it when we were young to be cool. Wished I hadn't had to be so cool. Its not that we like too, its a habit and our bodies crave nicotine.

Answer 8

cuz' it's their easy way out to "feel good" about themselves...whereas if they weren't lazy, they could work out, work on a hobbie, do something that'll make them feel good. i hate the majority of smokers cuz' they don't care about other people around them who don't smoke.

Answer 9

We like it and it's a habit for some of us. If you don't like it, then stay away from it. We don't knock people who don't smoke--so don't knock us.

Answer 10

Smokers get addicted to the nicotine in the cigaretttes. I don't get it, either, but I have lots of friends who do it. :)
