Everyone knows smoking is not good for their health so I want to know why anyone begins and continues to smoke. I am talking about before it gets addictive. I have only smoked 5 cigarettes in my life but I never found anything good about them. Perhaps I am ignorant. Is it the taste, the way it makes you feel, the way it makes you look or what?

Well, there is an element of physical enjoyment to the smoke. It tastes pleasant if you like it, and it produces a buzz at first. Later, the ritualized aspects become relaxing.
Also there is a social component. In some circles it is very common to smoke and people enjoy socializing over a cigarette or when they borrow a cigarette. Also at some jobs you get a break if you smoke, but look lazy if you take it and don't.
Then there is the intellectual fun. There are a lot of facts and fun around different tobaccos and smoking equipment. Here in the middle East the Arabs have really done a terrific job of producing flavored tobaccos soaked in molasses that you can smoke with a Nargilla or Hookah. Smoking a Banana tobacco through water is interesting, but doing it through chocolate milk is fantastic.
Lots of reasons.
I am not a smoker though. I have enjoyed the nargilla on ocassion, and keap a pipe, but don't smoke it except once a year or so. I like the hobby aspect of knowing about different tobaccos and talking that over with other smoke hobbyists.

When I first started smoking I did it because I liked the "head rush" it gave me, like I was floating. Over time, that floating feeling went away and was replaced with an addiction.

I am a smoker who loves to smoke, it makes me feel relaxed. It is a terribly dirty stinky habit that I wish I'd never started. I guess it's a love-hate relationship!
