Why do people start smoking? eventhough the manufacturers print on the label that cigarrete kills still people smokes. and when they are trying to stop, they can't?

When I started smoking it was becaue of a fight I had with my mom , she was always accusing me of smoking and I wasn't it was my sister . And we would argue about it quite a bit . One night I went to a friends house and she was always bugging me to just try one and I said what the heck , I figured if I was going to be grounded for it then I might as well be grounded for a reason . I have been hooked ever since . It was one of the biggest mistakes I made when I was younger .

I smoked too.. But when I started to be involved in badminton I had to make a decision to quit, because those two things cannot mix

at first people start to smoke because of curiosity they really want to taste it and for the reason that they grown up even they already know that smoking is really bad to their health...

yes the grown ups are the model of the younger ones. the things that the young ones see ussually the things that later in life they follow. So people must be a model to younger generation

people start smoking on the first time coz they want to be supposed already grown up by their environtment. this is the main reason why they start to smoking although they know about the dangerous of smoking

It beats me too, I too feel for it the same way. I mean why do they want to somke when they clearly know its harmful to them as well as others? I guess they can't stop as smoking is very addictive

smoking is really addictive because of its niccotine content. so once you get started it is hard to quit, but for some it only takes a firm decision to stop. like me, i have smoked for a while. Its been 4 years since I quit.

i'm afraid some people start smoking because their friends are doing it or because it seems to be cool for them. maybe it starts with passive smoking and when they one day think "i just try one, it won't make me addicted" then their already kinda addicted in their unconsciousness i started smoking because i liked it to blow smoke rings and one time i was wasted i really smoked one (before i just chuff ed em) same thing happened some other evenings and there we have it
