but smoking is different than planes... planes can benefit you, smoking cannot.

Because it's cool. And stupid. I think a lot of things that are 'cool' are also stupid. Then, once you start, then you get hooked and it's all downhill from there. I know.

They'll usually try their first cigg when they're a teenager. The pressure to do that first smoke was from peer pressure from other kids, media, family, etc. Many people are ignorant about the dangers of smoking since the effects of it are slow and gradual, however deadly.

there are too many reasons to list as to why people start smoking, but they stay smoking because, as the scientists say, nicotine is more addictive than heroin! i believe it!!! my friend lorraine, god rest her soul, quit a heroin addiction that had her selling her own body, but the lung cancer from the years of smoking killed her.

First of all, peer pressure. THeir friends pressure them to just try it and then they try it and either get addicted or like to smoke. Also, they wanna look cool. Also, idolized movie stars can be seen smoking and drinking so fans may start smoking to be just like the movie star. last, curiosity may get the better of someone, they try it, nad once again get addicted or like it.

Simple oral friction. As a baby we were used to having our mouth stuffed with either breast or bottle. And the sensation is satisfying. With smokers it's all about having something to do for your mouth and getting satisfied by the nicotine reactions. If they have the will to stop, the oral friction can easily be adapted to eating or just holding a cigarette without lighting it. I was a smoker for 14 years. I quit cause I want to :)

because I like it,
smoking calms me down, and suppresses my appetite
probably same principle as to why some people stuff themselves with doughnuts, french fries, ice cream, cheetos, when they know that is really bad for them and will kill them

because they like the way it makes them feel...they 'supposedly' feel relaxed and calm, while inside, their body is trying to fight it....they get addicted because they let it become a habit. smoking is nonsense.....im glad i dont touch any of it!

Why do we travel on planes even though we know they're dangerous and could fall anytime...?
It's human nature to take risks!

usually ..most ppl startsmoking as teenagers...usually coz they think it makes them cool and (boys think it makes them men...u know how eager teen boys are to be considered men)...sometimes ppl are really depressed and they do not care about their health they just want something to relax them... ( cigarettes do give a temporary feeling of relaxation).
