why do people smoke?

some people started smoking during their teenage years.most of the time ,this is due to their activities which often result to peer pressure. they often try smoking to gain comformity with their grop or to avoid being a cast away.there are some teenagers who started smoking as a sign of growing up and because they are seeing their parents do it.once a person started smoking,he may become addicted to it and quitting may come as amajor problem.

i think the main reason people smoke is because they were around someone and they picked up the habit well at least thats how my mom did.the other reason is that they got addicted to smoking and its hard to quit because the body craves it. ppl also smoke because they say it releases stress.

Two of the main reasons given for smoking would be firstly as a form of stress release,and the other would be a means of controlling body weight.

The smokers I know, one in particular pick this habit up from peers around her. I'm referring to a ex co worker of mines. She does not look like a typical smoker, and it really did suprise me when she started to light up. So I do think hanging with a certain crowd will force you into smoking or any other substance abuse. I personally like to avoid smokers. If someone is smoking, i'll walk around the smoke instead of through the smoke. I am grateful for the new law about smoking in and around the buildings.

I go to my office everyday, when i go to locale street many people smoke and many people hate these people like me, but we can not do anything, what we can do, what we can not do we do not know, but no one take action against them, some cities in my country are smoke free, why government declare all cities smoke free, there should also a huge panalty against them, they can smoke in their home why they smoke in publib places.
