As a non-smoker, I really wonder why do some people smoke? What do they get from it? Well, in fact the bad effect of smoking is highly publicized.

Im helping our economy by boosting the sales of products subject to sin tax. The more that they sell, the higher the tax.

Lol! This is the first time that I've heard this reason for smoking. Though I can't tell if you're telling the truth or just pulling our leg ;)

Either way, smoking is a vice. There is enough reason to read what's in a smokers mind. ÜüÜ

Addiction. All the friends I know who smoke want to quit... they're just having a hard time quitting the habit.

People smoke because it calms them down and makes them feel good. Smoking is also addictive as well.
