Aside from being weak-willed, suicidal or just plain stupid, why do people still smoke?

Answer 1

You mean why isn't everyone perfect like you? You must eat three square meals a day with no trans fat, low carbs, drink 8 glasses of water a day, never even been to a McDonald's, exercize 60 minutes a day/5 days a week, obey all traffic laws, don't consume alcohol, get 6-8 hours of sleep every night,...right?!

It's called being human and no one is perfect. I don't like smoking either, but it's not like they're breathing it right in my face. Smokers are at least respectful of non-smokers. But everyone has a vice, indulgence, or weakness in their lives, but that doesn't make them weak-willed, suicidal, or stupid.

Obviously your weaknesses are pride, insensitivity, and narcissism. So what's your excuse for being just plain stupid?

Answer 2

i am not weak-willed, stupid or suicidal. but i am a smoker. i hate it when non-smokers sit there and judge smokers. i know it is a very bad habit but the reason i am still smoking is stress. it plays a big part of it. no matter how many times you try to quit and you think you have almost done it something happens and bam you are smoking again. but i do not smoke in an enclosed room with non smokers nor do i smoke in front of my child.(didn't smoke when i was pregnant with him either) but like i said a major stressful thing happened in my life and i was back to smoking.

Answer 3

This is a Loaded Question. But to answer it, people smoke because they (a) want to or (b) have formed an addiction.

Either way, it's not in your place to judge.

Answer 4

Because we are helping the economy by smoking. Just look at how many people we are keeping employed by smoking. Not to mention cigarettes are taxed therefore we pay more in taxes. You should be thanking us.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Because once the habit is started it is addictive.
