We already know that smoking causes thousands of death each year. Now a new study out of Glasgow University has revealed that thousands more deaths occurs due to smoking. But the main point is why we are still smoking???

I don't smoke as well as my whole household. Lots of people really do smoke because of various reasons despite the hundreds of warnings that they hear and read. There are persons who are really hooked as if like an addict to smoking that's why they already depend on it in order to live. But I know that it's really a matter of self conviction if you would like to quit smoking. I saw this on my father. He was a chain smoker and finishes tons of packs a day. But when he joined in a religious association, he really changed himself and was able to quit even though it was really hard for him to take the withdrawal syndrome. Now he's clean living.

Good for you and your family, for me what so ever reason why they are smoking, they should stop it by now, coz fresh air for people like us who not smoking are more valuable compare to whole world.

Many smokers, like myself, have many personal reasons why we smoke. We know the health risks but it's an addiction. It's so much easier for us to pick one up than to put one down.

Some of the smokers smoke to relieve stress. For example, both of my parents are smokers, and whenever they are ticked, they will usually grab a cigarette and smoke in a hateful manner. Others will smoke to look cool (e.g. teenagers.) However, once you start smoking, you can't stop. That's why I'm not a smoker:)

Congratulation to you for not smoking, i think a massive campaign must be done to stop or prevent smoking espacially in public area and important in our home.

I smoke too much. I had severe asthma and I now have COPD because of smoking with asthma. I cannot stop it. I watched and looked after my grandmother who died of lund cancer and it did not put me off either. It is highly addictive. I do not even want to stop smoking because it relieves my stress and things. They are expensive 'cigarettes' and yet I still continue.

I think the goverments should just ban them all. That is the only way I would stop.

Every knows smoking is a bad habit. All want to quit it but they cannot do it. Every one start it just to taste it once. After that if it is one or two what will happen then it become as a habit. When they were in stress they used to smoke more number. It increases the number also. some people quit smoking for some time just like one year or two year and again they start smoking.

yes, we know that, but it's a strong vice, what can we do to leave it? I know that is hard to quit it, and until now I have no knowledge about someone that I know that has quited smoking. There are so many problems that in the future our lungs will tell us, but until then, I think that I don't think quit the cigarette.
