Answer 2

To answer your question, as an ex smoker for several years, I would say that you need to question why do people start smoking... And the answer to that varies among different people, but the mainly reason is that new and prohibited things will always get your attention, and you are not allowed to smoke while you are a teenager, so it is " cool " to do what you are not allowed to, and once you start, for what ever reason it is, you keep smoking because nicotine is a physical addictive substance and your organism will keep asking for a dose every time your body starts lacking of this substance.

Answer 3

It's a familiar habit! Normally people begin smoking to fit in, but eventually you become addicted! Next you "need" a cig after you eat, while you use the restroom, but most of all while drinking! Then you smoke when you're bored, when you're stressed or when someone else is smoking. Luckily I prayed an GOD helped me stop!

Answer 4

I don't know ONE person who started smoking just because they wanted to. Everyone I know who smokes now or did in the past started to fit in with someone else.

Yes, mostly it is in school, but I've met two people who started smoking in their 30's because they wanted an excuse to join their boss outside while he/she smoked and kiss up alone with them during that time.

Answer 6

If you ignore the health issues and the money issues and the low-class image issues, smoking is actually quite enjoyable. It is a good way to meet other people, take a break, treat yourself, relax, a good excuse to get outside etcetera.

Answer 7

Smoking is Darwinism at its best. If you are such and idiot to blow tons of money while constantly filling yourself with a substance that is without a doubt slow acting poison, then please just continue to weed yourself out of the gene pool.
