I used to smoke way back, never really enjoyed just smoked because my friends were and to pass the time. I tried cause I was curious why they like to smoke so much. Never really understood why til now, why they enjoyed it. Especially after learning how bad it really is for your overall health, it makes me wonder why smokers are still into it. If it's that bad for you, why keep on.

Hi there Aliza! Well, I am not a smoker anymore but I used to be one. I stopped smoking when I got pregnant and that was more than six years ago. When I was still a smoker, I smoke when I am bored and also when I am friend because they are smoking too. Their smoking were kinda inviting. I am really glad that I was able to stop smoking. It is really dangerous to our health.

well, i`m not smoking either. But my dad and my big brother are smoking a lot.I hate that smoke, and i will not try at all. I`ll teach my kids that it`s a bad thing, from when they`re young. You must have some straight to keep away from smoking, because most of the people do this and they have a big influence on us. But we must keep away from smoking and we`ll live better and more. Why do smoke when you are constient that it will make you just bad things. Maybe just because smoking will calm you dawn, but that`s the price for your health.?

There is a few reason people start smoking, Fashion and release stress. for people that follow this trend, they will not smoke when people around does not smoke. for some people that take smoking as an alternative to release stress, it is all a bad reason. people smoke just to fill the gap time between one activity and another which keep ourselves doing something in a mean time. but if you're not a smoker, please don't smoke, it's a waste of money and a disease for health.

i am not a smoker but i have friends who do smoke and i also ask them this question and they say they smoke because 1. it relaxes them, removes tension 2. it feels good to smoke after a heavy meal 3. its easier to do your thing in the toilet after smoking 4. when they miss someone or far from home, they smoke to lessen the homesickness (its hard to explain said my friend but it relaxes them). these are the reasons they gave me though i still don't feel that they should smoke.

I used to chain smoke when back in the day when i played Vampire The Masquerade, and then it was mostly a social thing. Since then i have quit, but most of my friends say its relaxing, and gives you something to do with your hands while driving. I know a lot of younger people do it to look cool, as lame as that sounds i think its true.
