Do you believe that other people enter into smoking just for fun or to be in a group?

definately,it generally starts at school and then they cant give up.Some people start smoking because of stress etc but I really thinks it happens when people want to fit into a certain crowd.

I think that some people start smoking to fit in better with certain people. Like at work. Especially in call centers, there is a small group that have breaks at the same time. Some of the non-smokers go out side just for the social interaction. Eventually, they just figure why not light up like everyone else. I smoke, but I am a stay at home mom and get stressed with my husband. I started smoking because it releives the stress.
