Why do you smoke?

Tweet

After recently contributing to a smoking discussion it led me to wonder what the benefits of smoking actually are. I'm not really experienced with the subject because I have never tried smoking in my life. My opinion is that I don't really want to pay to kill myself. We all know it is an addictive killer, but why do people take it up? Are you a smoker? Why do you smoke? How would you persuade me to start smoking? I'm sure many smokers are smoking even though they don't want to, they just can't give it up. I believe that the only way to stop smoking effectively is your own will power, if you want to give up you will. If you don't give up, then you probably have some insecurities that rely on smoking.
