Why do some people love smoking?

What's in a cigarette that makes people love it. Although a lot of advertisements were made regarding the effects of smoking to one's health, there are still who can't control themselves in using cigarettes. Well, i am not against smokers because it's their life but why is it very hard to quit smoking, anyway.

It's social and relaxing. That's the main benifits IMO :-)

Welcome to MyLot and I hope your stay is long and profitable. I am not sure that many people love smoking as much as they are addicted to it.And just like any addiction,it is very difficult to break the habit.Very few people do not know or understand the negative effects of smoking on their body,but for them the positive they receive outweighs the negative.

Well, it is addictive. I smoke, I think I do it as a break. I am a stay at home mom with two kids, and as a stay at home mom, there is a lot to do, and I smoke, to have two minutes to myself, outside, where no one bothers me or needs me. I know that I could do this without smoking, but there would really be no reason too. I honestly can't tell you why I smoke, I do like it, but I know it is dangerous, but its just something I do.

Smoking is an addiction. As with any addiction it's very hard to quit. Many people quit for a while and then start again. People know what smoking does to their lungs, so they know what they're getting into by continuing to smoke.
