Hey ...juat a light haught nothing meant to be serious... My first question regarding this issue us that --- Why do people smoke?Eventhough we can find all kinds of tags like Smoking Kills, Smoking is Injurious to health, etc..ect... Why do people go for smoking?One more question which I feel It is necessary to --- Do smokers care about those tags or have they ever cared to read these tags?Each and every one of us know taht smoking is injurious to health, It causes a variety health cannot be listed here... Affects lungs (at scientific level decreasing the oxygen caring capacity of bronchi) . A famous saying of the decade goes "A cigarette reduces the life of heman being by 2 mins"Its boots activity at the early sates of smoking by improving the activity of brain but prolonged smoking causes depression... Over the buring end of cigarette over 4000 chemicals are being burnt ...did u know this... The nicotine affects the neurons in brain. Lets have a discussion on this. I want to know what other feel regarding this issue ....

Every person that smokes will have their own reason as to why they smoke and why they started.But smoking in a big part is an addiction to nicotien.Once you have been smoking long enough it is something your body cant go with out.The reason i smoke...it may not be the best reason but first and forth most i am addicted to it.Secondly smoking for me is a stress relever.When a smoker is understress is is proven that having a smoke will lower your blood pressure and calm you down.I wont get all teniqual on the matter because i dont know all the facts off by heart.but when i do...ill be back lol

Hi Sedil143, I hope this is not too inflamatory (pun not intended ;-) ), but the answer is simple. The same reasons I continue my bad habits are the same reasons you, or anyone else, continue yours/theirs. Some people eat poorly, others don't excercise, some people ignore their financial health by overspending with credit cards or not saving for retirement. We all have bad habits, and the same (or very similar) excuses I use are probably the ones you use. Being anti smoking is very trendy now, but there are more people that eat fast food than smoke. There are more people in America (where I'm from) that are killing themselves financially wth tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt than smoke. How about we attack them for their poor habits too? Just kidding :-). Understanding self is key to understanding others. I hope noone takes this the wrong way. just my 2 pips. Hope it helps in some way :-) DrPipper

To be very frnak....I dmoke and in spite of knowing all those things as it is written on the ciggarete cases, stilllli really crae i fig to them. I dont love smoking, nor do i find any real nice taste in engulfing the smoke, but still it refreshes my mind from tensions, stresses, depressions and MOST OF ALL ITS MY COMPANAION OF LONLINESS. I know no matter how much i try i cant live it.....even if it kills me.....i wld prefer that i have been killed by myself only.

one of the most disgusting habits is smoking.not only does it affect the person indulging in this it also harms others by passive smoking.small children get affected due to this.this brings about asthma and many respiratory disorders for children who are exposed to passive smoking.and i dont think the smokers give a damn about the tags that it is injuriious.these people start for fun thinking that it is cool but later they get addicted becoming impossible for them to get rid of the habit.people should really take efforts in trying to stop this habit.

I was just wondering do you go out of your house. That could kill you because there is so much polution in the air that it clogs your lungs and makes it hard to breath.

To hate smokers is pretty harsh don't you think. Hate is a pretty strong statement. Think about those words. "I HATE SMOKERS." There are millions of smokers in this world, if you HATE them all then I can't see you having any room left in your heart to LOVE.

I am not a smoker and I don't understand why some people smoke. I think that it's very relaxing for them. I tried it and didn't like it.

Well, a very good & interesting topic to discuss with. I was also a chain smoker even few months ago, now reduced extensively compared to that & decided to leave smoking. Now, I find that, it was nothing but a bad habit and the habit gradually became an addiction. I think, each and every people who smokes, are aware of the tags describing the adverse effect of smoking. but, all are not aware of the facts, how extensively it can damage the internals of our body, what kind of diseases it may cause. so, they dont care about those tags or warnings untill they are having some serious physical problems because of smoking. There are various answrs to the question, why people smoke at all? In my openion, some people smoke due to their lonely lifestyle, some do it cause they are already addicted in smoking, & etc etc; but, whatever be the reasons, main reason is the environment, friends or colleagues with whom someone spends more time and obviously the willingness to smoke, and lifestyle are the key reasons to get indulged in smoking. however, knowingly they do smoke... but, all are not well aware about the kinds of actual damages may happen... so, friends, share your views and knowledges about this issue...

Yes I do agree with you , its not only injurious for those who smoke but it is more hazardous for the passive smokers, passive smokers in the sense those who dont smoke but are accompanying the people who are smoking in front of them. Smoking will cause variety of respiratory disturbances in our body including lung cancer. Pregnant females who smoke actively/passively will have babies with smaller birth weights. so its very risky.

People consider that damages caused by smoke will never happen to them. They consider it a remote possibility, so not few young people start smoking, because they think to become cooler. Then addiction starts and the body needs nicotine, so it's more and more difficult to stop.

Generally it start as a fun or try. Later it became a habit and once one get habitual it is hard to quit and stop worry about tags. and not all smoker die with cause of smoking.
