Cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health.  

I dont really understand them too, well i have many friends on my age that smoke cigarettes, im 16 years old, and they just probably smoke to look cool and awesome. My father is also a smoker and has bad health, im really worried about him but my father just wont stop smoking. Maybe some are just used to it and now, they cant help but smoke, well here is also my theory, maybe the first time they tried smoking was that they dont liked it or even enjoyed it, but just to look cool and awesome, they just did it just for the heck of it day by day, and got used to it then get addicted.

hi chelleshey

i think it's because of the chemical that causes the addiction, i think its Nicotine(One of the most addictive substances known to man, a powerful and fast-acting medical and non-medical poison.) it's the reason why people tend to be addict on it. and also it serves as an anti-depressant for them..
of another fact there are 4,000 dangerous chemicals in just one stick of cigarette imagine that, you are almost killing yourself while you smoke and you can also kill others through 2nd hand smoke, so for smokers try to stop it while its not too late, there are many ways like using nicotine gum to replace cigarette..

have a nice day

maybe let's wait for a smoker to answer those question, but i believe that there is one time that smoking helps,
it should be done after eating as it activates the release of digestive juice in the stomach..

I don't smoke and I don't find it appealing.

Well as an ex-smoker i know its hard to understand the whole concept of smoking because its not really advisable by most health experts. Smoking for smokers is a way to release stress. How? because cigarettes contain a substance that stimulates the nervous system therefore relieving the persons stress. But i wont advice smoking because once you get addicted to it, its really hard to stop and really dangerous to once health.

although this is nothing new its better like this so people get the message.

i do not smoke so i really dont know what it is in cigarette that others waste their money on it. but i can say that i am before addicted in drinking coke. and of course we know that too much cola too is not good for the body. cola makes me happy and it makes my eating time always the best. so thats a few of my reasons why i was addicted to cola. but i am no longer addicted for my wife introduced me into drinking tea and juices. so i know smokers has their own reasons on why they are attached into smoking even smoking is hazardous to health.

aside from the nicotine that is addictive, society plays a big role also, early one you may look at a guy who smoke as cool, manly and full of angst, to girls its makes them sophisticated, of course these are absurd but it happens.

some people find smoking relaxing, mentally and psychologically but definitely not physically as we all know all the possible illness that come with it.

Smoking is one of the most disgusting habit that someone can have. Here, we call them cancer sticks. It can give you hypertension, lung cancer, Bladder cancer......a whole lot of stuff. It's funny, when you tell someone that you can get cancer from smoking, they will say that you have to die from something........stupid people......Cancer is a cell that becomes a monster cell. It changes the closest cells to monster cell that pretty much eats the organs......No one wants to die like that......

8 out of 10 smokers, will get some form of cancer in their lifetime.......

it is the thing in cigarette that makes you addicted to it . like drugs

It's the sensation that you feel when doing it. I used to smoke for a week and it kinda felt good but I stopped right away since I know it's bad for the health. My dad is a smoker and it irritates me each time he smells like a cigarette. We told him to stop but I guess he can't let go of it. Tsk.
