that's a nice question,people try cigg as it is a bad habbit,and u get a nice feeling .bad habbits get attracted to the people very fast. in that situation they don't see the health.... infact smoking for some 4-6 years does not have much affect in body..

i have the same puzzle as you do. among those smoking people, men take up a large quantity. i think it's because men have much more pressure. they have to be the bread-winner of the family. so when they have difficulties or worries, they resort to smoking.
