why do people smoke?

I smoke pretty much for the same reasons you stated, plus the fact that I am addicted and my body craves it!

i dont smoke. i guess people smoke because for some they want to imitate what their friends are doing, they just feel like it and others are addicted on it.

i guess it is a habit. i need a routine stick here and there, especially when im in the bathroom on my throne! LOL

People who smoke are really crazy

really a good question,but I guess for different reasons they are feeling or having different thoughts of doing.Really a waste of lungs,and I was doing it 14 yrs ago.Glad I quit.

because we have heavy pressure now!

for same reason.

Because it give you a very good feel. And also when you have a lot of work load, it helps you to divert your mind and have some time off and think about yourself.

I dont smoke and I even like to smoke but I think that it relaxes a person's mind. It helps them to relieve some of their tensions and they forget it for some time. I dont know exactly but my friends who smoke says this.

they dont love their life...thats y

I smoke because I grew up around it. Now it's just force of habit. I have tried quitting but nevertheless, it didn't work. My best way to cut back though, is to constantly hang around my friends/co-workers who are non-smokers. I don't smoke around them, as to not bother them with it. I understand its disgusting and smells awful, not only harmful. But I believe exactly what you said, it gives you time to step away from something, and NOT be completely bored. It gives purpose to a break at work or whatever you are doing. And of course the addiction, ouch.

Smoking is something I truly do enjoy and even though I know nicotine is a stimulant, it does seem to have a calming effect. I smoke more when I'm stressed, or driving long distances.
