Cigarrettes and tobacco have been around for a long time. I never understood why people chew or smoke cigarrettes.

they try it because they think it makes them look cool, or peer pressure. then they get hooked on the nicotine & can't stop.

If you are only smoking 4 a day you are using those 4 as a crutch, you don't need to cut down, just stop!! It IS as easy as that, because I gave up 14 months ago, and the cravings are not that bad, just breathe through them, a craving lasts no more than 3 minutes max. There is plenty of help to give up smoking on line, try the NHS Stop Smoking websites for tips and hints, but seriously, for 4 cigarettes you should just be able to stop on your own. Where is your will power?

I don't smoke either but I have a lot of family that does. And they started when they were in school. It was what "everyone" else was doing. It was cool!! It is also addicting and is very hard to quit. I know a lot of people who want to quit...bad for health...expensive for a variety of reason but because of the addiction it is very hard. I know when stress or problems come it is very hard for them and they smoke more. If they are quitting and something stresses them out then they go right back to smoking more than before. Hope this answers your question.

I don't know. I mean, I don't do it. But, some of my family and best friends do. I think it is gross... but if they wanna do it, then it's their business. But, i think if someone is smoking and a new mom with her newborn baby or a pregnant woman walks into the house or something, they should be respectful enough and know that is harmful to them a put it out!
It's a really bad habit to get into and I never plan to do it.

With the american indian, it was ceremonial. The combustion products when inhaled can give you a rush. When I shoveled chicken pooh from the hen house, it would get up my sinus and in in my moluth. It tasted terrible. Chewing tobbacco could hide the flavor, but I didn't make a career out of it. :) You can get a buzz off chewing tobacco. The adverse health effects was not known until later. Red Bull can do the same thing but it is less detrimental on your body. The major reason is peer pressure today.

There is no point. They are loaded with poisons including cyanide. They desroy lung tissues and the lining of other organs. I have seen patients die from the compications of this horrible addiction and it is never pretty. They literally suffocate because the lungs cannot function and exchange oxygen as they were meant to. If you have a respect and gratitude for having a healthy body to begin with, it doesn't make sense to destroy it deliberately.

People start smoking out of curiosity and then become quickly addicted- just as the tobacco companies plan for.
Smokers- make no mistake- you are merely pawns of big tobacco. Cigarettes contain highly addictive ingredients to ensure you stay hooked...

Nicotine in their brain makes them feel good. Of course, most of the time they're doing more harm to themselves than good, and they'll eventually regret smoking, but for now they think it's okay. That's what people are like. :(

It's to appease an addiction to nicotine. That is the only reason people so it. They start out doing it to look grown up or cool, and wind up addicted to the nicotine and unable to stop.

starting out it's because you just want to experiment.. then you start doing it to calm your nerves.. before you know it, you're smoking several packs a day because you're so addicted..
my sister is a chain smoker.. she's not allowed to smoke anywhere near our house.. plus we're always telling her that if she wants to hold our baby, she has to get a shower and put on clean clothes and use mouthwash..
we try to make it inconvenient for her.. but she really likes babies, so she's willing to go through all that to get to hold him..

It relaxes people and once they've gotten to a point of addiction it's no longer just 'because they want to'.
