Either to try to fit in, look cool, or look tough. Mine was to try to fit in with my sister that I had just started living with. If you haven't started, don't! It isn't worth it! And if you have, stop now while it is easier to quit! You will not regret it later in life is you stop now.

Smoking can't be stopped so easily. Right? Yes, it can be by hypnosis. I'm learning hypnosis. When I'll be expert, I'll try to make every smoker stop smoking. Smoking can also be stopped if your mind power is great.

No one is asking about you. If you don't smoke, then that's really great. Try hard to ban smoking among your friends and elders or any stranger too.

Hey, never tell any smoker like this. They will be hurt and won't leave smoking any more.

To some, it's just a way to not be so stressed...that's really all there is. It's weird, but...I don't know. Apparently, smoking makes you thinner, which is something I don't believe either. I personally tried smoking because most of the members in my family smoke. But now that I've tried it, I'm never going to do it again.

i think it's a matter of how smoking is perceived by young people . they think it'll make them look older , somehow stronger or harder . or maybe they just like smoke coming out of their mouth and nose ..somehow like a dragon lol
