I've heard of the negatives of smoking, but what is the importance of smoking?

Answer 1

The importance of smoking is that nicotine is a strong poisonous pesticide that is addictive. Nicotine is the substance in tobacco that causes addiction. The addiction tricks your brain into thinking it feels good to smoke, even as the smoke is killing you.

Answer 2

It is my right and I try to not condemn those that do not smoke except to say eat right,exercise and die anyway. I find that smokers have a better personality and easier to talk to. I get pretty angry when people are pushing their ideas and beliefs in my direction. If you don't want to smell my smoke hold your breath like forever! It is amazing how many people are closet smokers, the ones that don't smoke in front of you but see them in their cars smoking. We are not second class citizens and the hype on second hand smoke is a bunch of bull. Smoking, to me is sexy and nothing is sexier than a lady lighting a cigarette. Where there's smoke there fire!

Answer 4

Smoking is the cost effective way for people who cannot afford an expensive suicide to kill themselves. It's an installment plan that lets them do it little by little rather than struggling to come up with one large, lump sum for something like jumping from a plane with no parachute at 30,000 feet. Plus, ingesting poison makes you look really cool.
