People start because they want to feel "cool". Later they can't stop because they become physically and emotionally dependent.

Because we were foolish enough to think it would benefit us when we were young. Once you're addicted (it doesn't take long), your brain comes to depend on nicotine. Quitting causes so many side-effects (lasting months in some cases) that it's easier to keep smoking than to give it up. It also becomes an effective tool for dealing with stress, intense emotion, boredom, etc. Smoking is also more common among people with mental illnesses, especially those with schizophrenia. It has been suggested that quitting smoking is harder than quitting heroine. DON'T EVER START SMOKING!

This is a slightly silly question, clearly posed by a non-smoker and answered by a number of non-smokers. To say people do it because they have 'a death wish', 'aren't too smart', are 'immature' and 'ignorant' is a pathetic, ridiculous and utterly unintelligent thing to say. I am educated to post-grad level, articulate and successful.
I smoke for the simple reason that I am addicted. Yes, I started as a teenager to fit in and look cool but I continue to do it because as mentioned in an earlier answer, I am physically and emotionally dependent.

it's a matter of personal choice - some people enjoy it and others are just addicted to it - as for it being dangerous to your health so is eating half of the stuff that we eat, drinking and many other things
by the way you need to go back and review your grammar

All i can tell you is that I started smoking at 15 sort a rebellious behavior on my part. I thought that I was cool and unfortunately I becane addicted. Its stupid, I know. But I almost find comfort in this nasty habit. I hope to quit very soon.

I smoke because I enjoy it. I know it's not healthy, but I figure I could step off a curb tomorrow and get hit by a car - did it matter that I smoked, no! I've smoked for almost 30 years and I'm not stopping now!

Its something i enjoy.
thats like askin why do people get anstisia before surgery, I have had it a couple times and the form they make you sign before states that a percentage of people dont wake up.
Or why do people sky dive.
I can keep going on and on. but hopefully you understand.

I enjoy it. I know it's bad for me but they're my lungs and if i want to fill them with tar and greater my risk of cancer it's my choice. Although i do think that the age limit should be raised on it.
This is like asking why do people binge drink when they know its bad for them - simple - because they enjoy it!
