why do many people smoke?

They want to act cool. Most of the people who smoke started when they were a teenager. They want to belong in some kinda group. And if they don't start smoking, they won't be invited in the group. I once you start with it, you can't stop.

i m smoking every nigt but i hate but it is my habit it is bed habid it s so dengrious

They smoke because they believed that smoking can take them away from facing there problems!...Without knowing to side effects to their health!...They dont that smoking can cause them lung cancer!...It will become the trigger point of their lives!...But people smoke because they need attentions and they want to pretend that they are brave and strong!...It's like a mask for them that hides all their pains!...lolz

People that smoke knows is bad for their health, I think they just want to die as soon as possible.

Well I started at about 15 years old to be cool and get the chicks, but that quickly just turned into an addiction that lasted 15 years before I could break the cycle. Quit smoking friends.

well, believe it or not, i actually enjoy smoking..i am aware of the health risks and am tired of them being such an issue. there is a warning on each pack, that should be enough. anti smokers have made a lot of progress turning smokers into the last pariahs of society, and it is ok.. what anti smoking groups don't realize is that the farther they push smoking to the unaccepted end of the graph, the more young people will take it up..

I believe alot of people start smoking as teeneagers because their friends are doing it. Also some start just because they are bored and i have even known people to start smoking to keep from eating. The media may have some influnce but i don't believe they have alot.

Well i think people smoke to release stress and strain and i generally watch people smoking when they are in deep thoughts and somewhat disturbed.

Everybody knows that smoking is injurious to health but still they smoke.This may be because they enjoy ding it.Obviously no one is goin to do anything harmful if they don't enjoy doing it.Even I smoke sometime because I like it.

Just because they want to release their tensions. Though sometimes its not releasing tensions coz they make it a habbit that makes them a chains smoker.

I don't know, why would somebody eat a piece of chicken with trans fat in it? Because it tastes good! Why would somebody shovel cake and cookies and other comfort food into themselves? Because it's a stress reliever! Why would somebody eat a medium rare, fatty ribeye when it'll clog your arteries and make you keel over? Because you crave it and because it tastes good!

if u were a male u won't have asked letht.Just smoke once nd find uot.Y should u go fr others suggestion.hehe

I smoked for about a year and there were a lot of different reasons that I started and kept doing it. I came to college, a very liberal art school in the middle of the city, after living in the conservative suburbs of another city in a very religious household. So, I kind of went crazy and rebelled, doing the things I was always told I shouldn't do. So that's why it started, just me doing something that I originally viewed as off limits, the "forbidden fruit." I continued because at my college smoking is one of the best ways to meet people. The dorms and all of our school buildings are smoke free, so between classes or any other time you go outside to smoke there are tons of people out there. And since you're standing around in the freezing cold, you pass the time talking to these people and then get a lot of new friends. So then all of my friends smoked and there seemed to be no good reason to quit. I don't think I was ever physically addicted to the nicotine (at least not that I noticed), it was more of a habit, an excuse to get out of our dorm room or something to do during the breaks of our four hour classes. I ended up quiting cold turkey because I moved out of the dorms and saw no need to punish myself anymore.

I think most of the people start smoking when they are teenagers beacuse of the influcence of society, that means friends and social groups, and they are less concerned about their health at this age. When they grow up it is more difficult for them to quit it.

There are 2 categories of people who smoke : The 1st category is a chain smoker; those who can't live without smoking 1-10 packs everyday. The 2nd category of people smoke just for style, fashion and passion. Thats it!!

because we are viciouse

some people do because it has become their habbit and some do it for the sake of fun and some do it just because they wanna show style infront of others

people smoke because of peer pressure.

They must be having some problem i personaaly thinks its better to smoke then to drink...

Me, I smoked when I was in college.. but now, I stopped that vice... I stopped it ever since I saw the pictures of people having lung cancer... It's really painful and I don't want to suffer from that kind of illness.My reason? I don't know,,, Id realized that I'm hooked with that vice but now I quit...hehe
