Why People Smoke?

No i don't smoke not even my husband but i also cant understand why do people smoke i am also finding the same answer? we can understand it is harmful even it is written on the packet it is ingenious to health then too people take it why? I just asked someone why do they he told i like it i am use to it

I started smoking when I was 12 out of curiosity. Then I was addicted to it that i cannot stop anymore. Later on, I am having a bad breath that I can even smell my own breath. Then I realized that my girl doesn't want me to kiss her anymore because of that, so I decided to quit smoking. Although it is very hard to do but i was able to stop it. Now I am happy that I my fresh breath is back.

I'm smoke with a reason to kill empty time and increasing my concentration when I work. But at home I do not smoke

My dad smokes, but I never picked up the habit. Even when my friends in school took up smoking I didn't. In college, there was a girl I was seeing who smoked, so I also tried it for a while. But I could never get use to the aftertaste, specially the following day, so it never stuck. I guess some people just pick it up from peer pressure.

I do smoke but not a regular smoker. Though I know its harmful but you know sometimes you get with the flow...like in parties and all. I believe people smoke to alleviate stress as they believe or to calm themselves down. They know its side effects but once you are addicted you want it every time especially when you are stressed out. On the other hand teenagers are into smoking because it seems a new stuff to them feeling themselves looking cool when they smoke and in turn it become a habit for them and as they grow older coming at around age of 24 they feel like smoking is no more fun but it relieves their stress and it goes on.... And when one day when its effects harm them then they realize what they have lost. But some are so much addicted that they carry on. Another reason why people or teenagers are in to smoking is it is cheap and easily available every where.

I personally don't smoke, and I only tried a few times when I was a teenager trying to fit in. Most of the people who smoke that I know claim they do it to calm and relax their nerves. Even if it does give a smoker that benefit, the risks of health problems and lung problems are not worth it in my opinion.

I actually wanted to know the same reason why too. I don't smoke either and "plan" not to do it in the future. I can't say I will never smoke because I never know what the future might bring me, but hopefully I will not intend to do that. I do have friends and cousins who smoke and they said that it kinda relaxes them like a stress remover thing. I don't know how it smoke in the body will make them relax.

because i cant breathe that well and have a lot of lung issues, i often wonder the same thing. if they had to go through what i do, i bet they would stop smoking.

Many of my friends smoke because of peer pressure. A few wanted to explore the pleasures of smoking. Most of them know the side effects, but many of them say they are taking steps to minimise them, for example by doing regular exercises, and eating pineapples, Most of them say it is their freedom of choice, so there is no need to lecture them. The addiction factor was enough to make me stay away from smoking.

I am not a smoker but I cant understand why people smoke but after reading your discussion and reading the responses I feel at least try once hahha...joking because people telling they feel relax.This is bad habit and body may be spoiled due to smoking..

I smoked But now I am free from smoke nd I feel good, but I smoke, because it take off stress (I think), but some people it is just addiction, just like and body ask nicotine. I smoked 7 years, but now I have new life. Now I do sport every evening

Yeah very true smokin is injurious to health and even though a large quantity of people smoke the reasons for this are: 1) Some think that Smoking is stylish thing to do for teenagers. 2) Some think that they loose weight when they smoke!! 3) Some think it as a little smoky companion 4) Some think smoking makes them white 5) Some think it relaxes their mind and tensions 6) Some think it is a mark of Youth All these things are rubbish smoking is just unhygenic habit. It is just a One way ticket to hell. The people who know this have probably stopped smoking and who didn't god save them!!~

There are some teories behind the smoking habit:1-Peer-Pressure(which is stupid);2- The idea that it helps them relaxe;3-The idea that smoking is cool(even more stupid than 1). I myself don't smoke and don't intend to!!Having seen my pops vomiting their breakfast because of smoking is enough for me to avoid it!

Adults smoke for other reasons. They may have a lot of stress and pressures because of economic and personal probleenough money to take care of themselves ms. They may be unemployed or working but not making and their families.:D
