Why do people smoke if smoking is bad for your health?!


Question:
Use people who smoke as an example or if you smoke tell me why.
Answers:
A better question is: "Why do people start to smoke today?"

Obviously, people become addicted and find it difficult to quit. But, why on earth would anyone in the year 2006 stick a cancer stick in his mouth for the first time? Anyone who does is a complete idiot.

Well, when I started it was "cool". And then it becomes addictive. Plus, now a days, EVERYTHING seems to be bad for you! :)

Peer pressure or curiosity, which leads to an addiction.

human tendency-curiosity..they start it out of curiosity and b4 they know it..they r hooked to it.

i used to smoke simply because i liked it and it was as sthg to do with my hands while drinking beer in a pub. my friend smokes because shes addicted

it reminds you to breathe

its addicting .it starts of as something someone does for fun but they end up getting addicted like idiots lol

one word-ADDICTION

Because marijuana is illegal.

Oh wait. Thats smoking too.

Because is a more discrete and socially accepted way to kill yourself.

People start smoking because they want to look cool, or be part of a group, or because everyone in their family does, and then they get addicted.

Enjoyment and addiction.

That's something that I don't understand either. Same thing with multiple sex partners, infidelity.It's like humans are the most uncooperative things God ever made. Can we just do what's right?

It's an addiction.

Pretty sure I've met several people who have wanted to quit smoking who were still smoking but just can't because it's very addictive.

masochistic tendencies

It's a bad habit, for me it started when I joined theserivce. Surprisingly, that's where alot of people start smoking. Everyone in my house smoked growing up except for me and I started in Tech school. Stress makes it worse. I have been able to quit cold turkey for 18 mos at a time but let some super stressful thing happen and ..

I smoke because my mom made me by telling me to light her cigarettes while she drove OR ELSE!!

So i did and got addicted. I quit a few months ago after an illness but am doing great now.

Smoking will kill...good luck.

cause it makes you feel good at first

Sometimes people smoke because they think it makes them cooler. Other times it's because they grew up in a house where smoking was an everyday thing.

Started as boredom, became a physical addiction. Now I occasionally smoke when I'm in a bar because it goes so well with beer.

first u will be tempted 2 smoke as u see others smokin proudly but once u get addicted 2 it u can't come out of it and u will face a lot of side-effects

oral fixation. bad examples from our preceding generation, wrong associations with it such as it relieves stress

First people think is cool or just because their friends do it and they feel left out so they do it for their friends
another reason is that they just dont care about their health and keep smoking
at the end they just become addictive and thats why they do it

smoking is a bad habit and if any body smoking its mean he is trying to finish this bad thing in this world.

it just a bad habit that need to be broken.
any way dont start or be sorry some day

People who smoke cigarettes have one or more psychological problems - they have no confidence in themselves and use a cigarette as a crutch and/or to be part of a group that smokes.
