People smoke because they enjoy it. I smoked for forty years and enjoyed every one. I don't smoke any more but I miss the pleasure I got from cigarettes.
Why do people take any drugs including alcohol? Because they enjoy them, drugs give you pleasure. Thay can also be addictive or habit forming, expensive and can kill you but smokers ignore those things because they enjoy what they are doing.

I am 31 years old and I am a smoker. I can only speak for myself but half of the reason I smoke is because it calms my nerves and the other half is habit. It is a terrible habit.
I started smoking when I was around 23. I was working in a night club as a bartender and a good customer of mine brought me some rum dipped cigars as a gift. I explained that I didn't smoke. He told me that you weren't suppose the inhale the smoke. You were suppose to just pull and take in the flavor. Well, silly me...I took a LOOOONG pull....inhaled it and was on cloud nine for about 10 minutes. LMAO I never touched a cigar again but I started buying a pack of cigarettes a day after. I guess I was sort of like a crack head. I was searching for that initial high but only received only a calming feeling.
Half the time I don't even like the taste and other times I feel like I can't live without it. It is a terrible habit to have. It is like a legal drug. I seriously need to stop. Don't Ever Smoke!!!

I started smoking at 15, because I thought it was cool, and every one, including my parents smoked. Now I'm 34, and it seems everyone has quit, and I'm still smoking. I tried to stop, but I love it and hate it. I've tried hypnosis, and well that didn't work, also the patch, gum, and my Dr. gave me a prescription, Chantix. I've heard some pretty crazy things about that med though.
I want to stop smoking, but it's become such a part of me, that I can't imagine life with out them. Sad, I know.

It's all in your head? What kind of a response is that? Anyway ... to answer your question, most people start smoking because of peer pressure, or they think it makes them look cool or grown-up. The problem is, nicotine is highly addictive.

because they can and they try it then they get hooked then it becomes habit!
changing habits are hard hence why they offer no smoking plans!
but for real being a year free it's all in your head!
