Hi!! I find many smokes a cigar,cigarette or pot because they had nothing to do in that particular moment. It is an addiction but some are not at all willing to quit that habit because it is their favorite time pass. Some does it because of peer pressure. They doesn't fear the caution: CIGARETTE SMOKING IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH or the picture of lungs in a very bad condition. I was just wondering.... Why do people smokes a cigar or a cigarette,knowing that it is injurious to their health???

From one aspect smoking is related to anger towards one self..It's also an antidepressant.

Hi tuya, i am also a smoker but not too heavy. Once upon a time, when i had lots of pressure of study, i smoked more than 20 cigerettes per day. Now a days i have minimized the quantity. Actually, to feel free from hard brain labor i use it. Lol.

Well people like smoke mainly for few reasons, one at young age as fun, middle age as work or personal pressure and at old age due to addiction.

smoking affects not just the smoker but also those around him or her. it could harm their health and could even kill them. its really sad that alot of people smoke and dont even respect those who dont smoke.

One of the benefits of smoking is that it can make the mind more advanced. So it's no wonder the legendary poet on smoking. You agree?

The only thing i smoke is pot. I went from smoking several times a day to not at all in the last 30 days. Guess what? There are no cravings. Or side effects whatsoever. So here you are living proof. NOT ADDICTIVE WHATSOEVER!!! Why did i smoke. Just because i wanted to. I have a medical licence for an illness. Reason for stopping just because i wanted to. Perhaps looking for a job.

Hi tuyakiki. I think everyone knows smoking is harmful. People start smoking for various reasons and once they are hooked, it is very hard to quit. I guess people smoke because they can and it is their choice and their choice alone.

I don't really know why some people smoke, myself. I think it's different reasons. Some people start when they are teenagers because they think it's cool and they can't break the habit. Peer pressure, like you said. Some people smoke because they are nervous. Some people take up smoking because they are trying to lose weight and they just want something they can keep in their mouth. I know there are better ways of losing weight than this. Once they quit smoking, they gain all their weight back. I think the reason why people, especially teenagers and young adults, smoke pot is to get high. It's awful, isn't it? I have a lot of allergies and I can't be around anybody smoking anything, myself.

It´s not easy to quit once you start. If you read about it, you will see how adictive nicotine is. It is not a matter of a little will and you probably thinks it´s so easy because you look at it from the outside.

Hi, every smokers has his own reason and joy about smoking, although it is very harmful for health and life of his family but he doesn't worry about all this, he is in a mood of having fun and he does this silly thing.
