Well, that's how most people get skinny. I don't understand how though.

Because during the world war 1 they gave free cigarettes to the GIs. When they came back home, they were addicted, and it's been downhill from there. Popular culture has always painted smoking as a 'cool' habit, so kids start smoking, and once they are hooked, it's a lifetime commitment.

Kids start smoking to be cool like all the other kids, OR they're stressed out and think it'll relieve them of everything they're going through. And most people who smoke started off young. And even if they said they're only going to smoke a few times, they get addicted and can't stop. I'm pretty sure that's why. But what would I know. I'm only 13 and don't smoke.

When a person starts smoking they let in a chemical called nicotine into their blood stream by inhaling. After the chemical sets in to the body the body thinks that it now needs this chemical to maintain homeostasis, which is the way of balance for the body. Thus the more you smoke the more the body needs and the more you pay to kill yourself.

Depends on what we're smoking???? I smoke cigarettes and know that it's bad for me..but I figure I could be in a car accident or be walking along minding my own business and get shot at or ran over...so I know I'm gonna die anyway!!

Cause they are addicted just like alcoholics.
To choose between the two, I would chose smoking over being an alcoholic. Don't wanna go to those meetings. An addiction is an addiction, no matter what it is.

I do it to relieve stress,to relax,out of habit,and because I am addicted.We live in a country where almost anything can become an addiction.Not eating, overeating, drinking, drugs,sex,gambling, and the list could go on and on.We are creatures of habit good or bad.

Smoking is also addictive. We do a lot of things that are self distructive, smoking is a slow form of suicide, but there are quicker methods including alcohol, drugs, unprotected sex; kind of makes you wonder, what can't kill you?

well eating fried foods is bad, but why do we eat fried foods? smokers smoke to get high or for the pleasure of being in flavor country...not everything that feels good is good for you.
