It's not so much the fact that they like killing themselves as it is the fact that the tobacco is highly addictive. Most people will start the habit of smoking due to being unable to withstand stress and anxiety. They turn to cigarettes to release the stress and anxiety they are feeling and in the process they become addicted to the tobacco. Smoking is alot like a security blanket for most people. When they get lung cancer or even confronted about their habit, they become defensive because they feel as though their security blanket is being taken from them. They also feel as though the cigarette is how they release stress and anxiety and it's not that their surprised by getting lung cancer it's that more stess and anxiety has just been added to their lives.

Enough people who get lung cancer without smoking. Why do people take drugs, alcohol or do naughty things in life? Because we are no angels, otherwise we wouldn't walk the earth. Having knowledge and wisely following your common sense is one thing but having heart and curiosity is another, often they end up in a huge fight.

People are 'addicted' to cigarettes- from nicotine. This is started when cigarettes are 'cool', but studies show an astounding less amount of people are smoking because of how unhealthy it really is. That is good news!

Everyone dies, some people are just willing to die a bit sooner for something that gives them pleasure. No real difference between smoking or overeating in this regard.

its just like when you see some rugged dirst looking guy and you want to have s e x with him. u know you are inviting trouble ut you still do. in the same way people smoke, cuz they get satisfaction by it even though they know its not good for health!

why do people that don't smoke worry so much about the ones that do. It is our choice besides everyone will die sooner or later so if we choose sooner just how does it effect you.
Here's one for you;
Why do people kill themselves with guns ?
Simple it's their choice

Nicotine is more addictive than every other drug except heroin. Sometimes it's hard for us to understand these things when we've never been it that position ourselves. Many smokers want to quit... they don't want to die... Addiciton is tough.

Because it is my own body and I can do with it as I choose. You won't find me whining about being sick because of smoking. It is my choice!
At least I know what I will die from:)
