Why do people continue to smoke, or start smoking?

Question

When it is known to make your willy fall off?

Answer 1

Still got mine. I smoke, I was a sad little 13 year old when I started. I didn't have the brains to get away from it. Everybody smoked back then. Even my primary school dentist used to smoke a pipe while doing my teeth!

Anyway, I tried to stop last year. I smoke way too much and I'm described as heavily addicted. I need to get past all the other stuff in my life and then I'll give it a try again.

I hate to see kids smoking. I get a really strong urge to go and whip it out their mouth and give them a clip round the ear. Wish someone had done that to me.

I like my ciggies. And they love me to death.

Answer 2

You shouldn't worry about WHY you started smoking. Worry about WHY you continue to smoke.
I have COPD and am in extremely poor health. I was told years ago to quit and I didn't. I was totally addicted and loved every drag off that cigarette and couldn't wait for the next one. I could see absolutely no reason to give up something you enjoyed that much. I didn't care about the future, but I should have. I am dying now and without a lung transplant I will die.

It was "never the right time" to quit. I was always "going thru something". I always "under pressure or stress or both"! It was instant gratification. One drag and everything in the world was better. Oh, the love affair I had with my cigarettes.........It was a beautiful thing to see and behold.........There was nothing better and they were always there for me, day or night, in sickness and health, in doom, gloom or glory......Yes, my love.
THEN the sky fell and the S.O.B.s turned on me.........Ah yes, the honeymoon is over, folks. COPD was the cause of breaking up a more than perfect relationship.............ALL gone, nothing left, except two moldy, black wrinkled up smoker's lungs..........

If the doctor told me today I had 30 days left to live I would go out and purchase a carton of cigarettes and try and smoke them all. That is how addicting this drug called cigarettes is.
I DO NOT tell anyone to quit. I would not do that. If someone wants to quit they own it and they can do it on their own. I don't smoke today and I don't intend on smoking tomorrow, but one never knows what tomorrow might bring.

What I DO know for sure, my friend, is that your willy does not fall off. BUT if believing that makes you quit smoking, go ahead.....

Answer 3

Unfortunately Nicotine is the most addictive drug on the planet more addictive then heroin.

I hope this helps you understand why people continue to smoke even aware off the health risks.

I have been trying to quit for four years now and just seem to wonder back to them every time, I am so weak willed.

starting smoking is to do with peer pressure, you want to feel part of the group,
if you are thinking of packing up dont chew gum, people who chew gum all the time look like camels ha ha

Because it is addictive! I don't know why you ask that. It is the same classification as Herion according to the addiction level stated by the WHO!

Answer 8

I started because I wanted to try something forbidden and I was looking for excitement.
