Why do people smoke?

To forget stuff

I’m 16, and I smoke because it’s fun, basically. Because I know that I’m not supposed to. The thrill of rebelling mixed with the relaxing nicotine. It’s fun ^.^

I only smoke on occasion, though. Only when a cigarette, or more commonly a cigar, is offered to me. I don’t even ask. And I think that you’d have to be pretty weak willed to get easily addicted to nicotine.

And it takes a LOT to really hurt you at all..

some people are social smokers, and do it when there around other people/at parties, ect some people are studip, and just smoke to be cool or even more stupid and smoke to surpress there appetite in hopes of loosing weight some peoepl just smoke for soemthing to do other people are addicted to it and cant stop, or dont want to then theres people who do smaoke but want to wuit, and usually say they will but end up smoking again there arer many reaosns why epople smoke and whay they dont or dont want to quite and unfortunbantly MOST of them (especially the kids and teens) dont know just how many disgusting, harmfull and cancer-causing chemicals are in every ciggarette

lol, okay, it doesnt take a weak willed person to get addicted to nicotine. The ADULT stresses of life can sometimes drive you insane without a smoke every now and then. Most people start when they’re young because they want to rebel, feel “cool” or even because it’s a social thing…then they get older, and the real stresses of life kick in and the addiction and it’s a hell whole of a lot harder to quit.

some just think its an escape out of stress

It’s the addictive components in nicotine. Some people try…and never try again. Others try once, and have a hell of a hard time quitting. As long as they are available, people will smoke…to reduce stress, worry, and now a days; financial frustration. It’s a fast life in America now…the only break some people can get is a smoke break. It’s time for people to slow down and enjoy life!

woww. well one its a stress reliever and two the nicotine is addicting. so once people try it they cant stop.

I agree with dj4eva all the way

dj4eva…its suicide, your not going to heaven ?? lmfao…thats cute :)

Its Suicide, which means if you smoke it, you aint going heaven

hah… thats what you start saying when youve never done it before .its just chilll I guess, and pretty addicting

It relaxes them and the nicotine in them is addictive.
