Some do it just to try it out, then regret it because they can't stop. That's all that I know XD

My husband and I both smoke. We started when we were young and even though we know it's not good for us, it is an extremely addictive habit and very hard to break. We have cut down some, but we still have a ways to go. Congratulations to anyone who has broken this habit, especially after many years of smoking.

They enjoy it, they are addicted or it comforts them for what ever reason. I have to disagree with the first poster though. Both set of my grandparents smoked. On my dad's side, both lived to be in there 90's. My mothers parents lived to be in their late 80's. I don't feel it shorten their lives any. They enjoyed it, and alot of the problems blamed on smoking are not caused by smoking or they can't prove that it does. Studies have been conducted, one factory that employ's 500 people puts out more polution in one day, that can cause cancer, emphasmia(?sp), COPD, and many other conditions, normally blamed on smoking. It affects everyone in different ways, wish people would lighten up on smokers and stop, listen to smoker progandia. It reminds me of the film Refer Maddness.
