What Is The Main Reason Why People Smoke???

Total waste of time , energy and money if you are a smoker ..not to mention the costs for the future of care for people with smoking related diseases...not sure what people see in it...i know it is suposed to be addictive but again i cnat see that it is that powerful..all i kow ids people who smoke..stink .. and their clothes too and ash trays are disgusting...I know young girls tend to smoke becassue they think it keeps their weight down...boys smoke becasue they think it makes them adult.. if you ask me there is nothing adult about poisoning your body systematically over years and years..

Presently i am not a smoker. I was a chain smoker for twentyfive years . successfully quit five years back. Even now I dont know why I smoked. As you told I learned the art of smoking from my friends in school. And where ever we go we will search such comapany. After High School, In my college also I got nice (smoking) friends. I never noticed any advantages from smoking. These all reasons for smoking - it will reduce tension, it will warmness in winter or monsoon - I nver had such reliefs from smoking

i'm not a smoker, i tried but i don't like the taste and the smell hehehe. my husband is a smoker,and i always ask him why he likes to smoke, i even warned him that he might have lung diseases in the future but he still insist on smoking. he said he cannot help but smoke,especially after eating.

I am a girl and I do not smoke,I think I will not smoke forever.in my office,all my other colleagues all smoke,they say without ciggrette,they can not work,but I can not understand what it means,how can smoke so important,but it does hard to their health,it seems that they just do not mind it.

I am a smoker. I started when I was 17 years old and have been smoking for 20 years now. As much as I do really want to quit, I find it hard to get the willpower to quit. It is a nasty habit, and it's also expensive. And since cancer and heart problems do run in my family, it's all the more reason for me to quit, but I've been so stressed out lately, and smoking does help me cope with stress. I find that I do smoke more when I'm stressed.

STRESS. That I think is the number one reason why people smoke. Then you're addicted after a few times. I actually quit once for two weeks after I had my daughter. Food tasted so much better. My hair smelled good. I just felt better. But then my daughter got collic. It was awful. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. So needless to say I started smoking again.

Im not a smoker but I did try it when I was younger. I couldnt get into thank goodness. My husband is a smoker and he smokes way too much. Im so worried about him. But he wont stop and you cant make someone quit. You have to want to quit on your own.

hi there!:) There are many reasons that people smoke. some smoke for habit, some smoke for style, some smoke for need and yet others smoke for others, for people they love. I smoke for all these reasons:)

I am a smoker. I started smoking one year ago. I just smoking when I feel boring, I have to smoking for spent the boring time. Also, I think smoking can reflesh myself like coffee. Of course I had known that somking is bad for my helath but I just smoking 1 or 2 times a week.

Hmm. Actually u knw d answer n yet u r asking? As u wrote,most of buddies get this BAD HABBIT frm their friend circle, u wrote u were insisted to smoke! Now, the questn is, Why they smoke? Because they thinks dat smoking, 1 as style icon 2 must to impress others-grl frnd 3 sometimes required to b a member of sm frnd circle 4 once addicted, they cant stop abruptly due to withdrawal effects 5 may be to protect frm cold 6 for awakening late night

Smokers getting addicted to this habit because this is conected to the psychological aspect of individual. More often they are fixated to this habit as one of thier oral fixition.

I don't want to smoke I hate it but I do. I hate the taste in my mouth in the morning. I hate the way the smoke gets into my clothes and things in my home. I that when I am with my co-workers that I have to leave because I feel like I need that ciggarette. I hate it! I have 6 kids and I have tried and intend to try again but I get really stressed out and aggrivated with them. I would like to believe that I could just stop if I wanted but that's not true. It's a habit or addiction. I hate it. I hate it too but I still do it.

I am not a smoker but I guess there are several reasons why people smoke. One of which is the fact that it's was considered a social vice early on, famous actors and actresses were smokers and it was considered 'in' at that time. Another reason perhaps is the satisfaction one gets from smoking. Friends and family members tell me that they smoke to cope with stress since the nicotine found in smoke causes their nerves to somehow relax. For those who haven't tried smoking, it's best not to. I have never been tempted to do so since I found the disadvantages far more alarming than the advantages. For one thing, your sweat would smell. Another is, it causes plaque and your pearly whites turns to yellow. Plus, your lips become dark and your gums as well. And finally, it causes money and your health is at risk.

I have been smoking for 16 years and quit June 1st! Reason I smoked. Addiction!! First it started out being cool. I was 14 and I was around smokers and would be offered one then another etc. Then one day I felt like a smoke and noone was around so I bought a pack and that was it. I thought I could quit whenever I wanted but when I got pregnant and couldn't do it I realized I was hooked. I have an addictive personality though... I have overindulged in drinking, eating and relationships also. About a year and a half ago I realized that I was like this and began to make changes. I am now a non drinking vegetarian who works out regularly. Last thing to do was the smoking which has been the hardest thing for me to give up. I quit for my health and the lifestyle I want to live. I spend more time with my childern (instead of going outside for my smoke, we go for a hike in the woods and discover nature) I hope I can stay smoke free. I do understand how hard it is for people to quit any addiction though too. You think about it for a while, then you try, fail, give up trying to quit for a while then starting thinking about it again. I am not proud of being an addict and it isn't an excuse but rather an explaination of why it happens. We still have to keep trying to stop and be aware of our weaknesses. Support is very important. My boyfriend who is a pack a day smoker hasn't smoked in front of me since I quit which is great and the kids are very supportive. (Sometimes I need to be alone.) LOL Good luck to others there trying to quit! 27 days and counting!

Its a habit or addiction. To come out of certain habit its very difficult. So its better to keep away from all these things. I too never smoked & I hate smokers.

its a habbit and tobbacco is one of the most addictive substances on earth. The truth is people start smoking, often as children, then just cant stop I am an ex smoker by the way and i know how hard it is blessed be

people smoke 2 get rid of tension..they fell it as a relaxing tool

I don't smoke as I have asthma and even more than that I cannot stand the smell of smoke or the fact that if you go near it then it gets onto your face and makes your clothes and hair stink.

I don't get it either. I tried smoking a couple of times and it was one of the nastiest things I've ever tried. I just don't understand how someone could try that for the first time and then want to do it again.

i'm a non smoker too. and i don't understand why ppl smoke, but i asked some of them. mostly they start smoking because some of their friends did and they wanted to be cool. other say that smoking relaxes them.
