I asked this question one day in my mind. In school, the eachers always told us that smoking is bad, it deteriorates our lungs and respiratory system, can cause cancer and death, etc. So, why people continues smoking if it's so bad for our health? or why some teenagers keep on trying cigarretes or try for first time smoking if they always told you that is bad???. One day i remembered a thought that i had, the human being it's one of the animals or living beings that is capable of fall with the same stone many times. What do you think?

Smoking is not only bad, but it's utterly and horribly dangerous to our existence and the environment. It will not only create chronic illnesses to smokers but to people in the surroundings of smokers too. There are lots of reasons why people smokes, according to a research, a person will smoke because of some circumstances like if they live in a home with either parents smoking and they will be influenced, the presence of peers who smoke and some problems that they feel they will be comforted by smoking. But smokers can changed if they will have to, there are many ways to quit smoking and it will be coupled with enough cooperation of smokers, support groups can help a lot too plus moral support of family members and love ones. Smokers should be motivated to stop by health reasons.
