Why do we "like" to smoke??

I smoke, it started out of curiosity. I actually enjoy it. It relieves my tension and stress. I have smoked for about 1 1/2 - 2 years. I don't think that I am addicted to it, because I can go weeks without smoking, without craving one or getting withdrawl symptoms. The reason I haven't quit is because I enjoy doing it. It hasn't given me any breathing problems or cardiac problems, so I don't see the point in quiting just yet.

i'm a graduate of psychology and since smoking involves the mouth it was believed that since the mother's nipple was a source of food and comfort for an infant anything that is related to the mouth gives us a sense of comfort. that is why some people smoke when they become tense, some eat a lot under stress...

i started smoking when i was 12,my brother got me into it.i used to enjoy it because it gave me somthing to do when bored and im a figity person to always like to be doin sumthing.but i dont like it anymore i would really like to quit hopefully soon.i dont find it to hard to quit its jsut the habit that is hard,i enjoy goin outside for that 5minutes of silence,etc.not that the nice weather is comen hopefully i can quit and also get lots of exercise in:D

i m a regular smoker for last 10 year but never changed my brand. in the early days it was just for fun. then it became a style statement when i was in college. now it is the very bad habit which i love to quit someday .....
