1) Nicotine is addictive.
2) The media has glamourized smoking for years.
3) The more people do it, the cooler it seems, and people being the lemmings they are are quick to partake in anything that makes them "cooler."
4) It can help one lose/maintain weight. Often a smoker will reach for a cig instead of a cookie when they need a little pick-me-up.
5) It provides a tiny high when you first start, but nothing significant. After a while of doing it, it just becomes an addiction and a habit, and eventually gets to the point where you actually feel worse if you don't have one.

Its a form of meditation really. I know i sound far out there. But most basic forms of meditation consists of takingdeep breaths in and exhaling out. Over and over again and by doing this you release stress and become centered and balanced. And that is basically smoking in a nutshell. Except it also kills you haha.
That is my theroy anyways. Ive never heard anyone else say it but i think its an interesting observation. Cause they make me feel betterr and i only smoke maybe like every two months one ciggarette or something.

I started because my father told me not to smoke, but here he is, with a cigarette himself.
I continued because I got addicted. I come from a family of smokers. The only ones that don't smoke are my kids and my mother.
I know it will kill me eventually, but I will be smoking til the day I die. I had several family members die from smoking and that didn't scare me enough to quit. I figure I'm going to die anyway, so why not die happy?
