It's an addictive drug, and unlike most of them it's legal (outdoors or in your own home).

The reason people smoke is because it's a trend && they think it's cool.Kids in my school smoke is because it's their bad habit.Once they've become addicted to it,they can't quit.Their bodies are craving for it.

They become excited or get relaxed but it is very harmful for health as a single cigarette reduces five minutes of one's lifespan & can create 300 types of cancers.

A herb 'Chapparel' is a cure for all cancers. it is available at extremely cold places.

People smoke in the beginning because they want to fit in. Once they get older it's a habit they can't break.

curiosity, family history, group/peer pressure , accessibility,
pleasure, overcoming frustration/depression.

Its a habit for the most of smokers. Some are really enjoying it.

People smoke to reduce their life period and the surrounding ones life period. First they will start that habit for fun or to overcome worries. that becomes habit. Wonder is they start that to over come worries and that habit afterwords worry them in health and wealth and other things. So, it is better to not to smoke. Smoking is injurious to health but it make the government wealty.

Do not start

I don't know much but I think it relaxes them and gives them a minute-freedom from the tedious world and once tried is lifetime addictive.

Nicotine is more addictive and readily available than crack cocaine, thats why people smoke.

I'v been free of cigarettes for 13 months, but I understand that not everyone can quit so easily.

its addictive.

good question. wish i knew the answer. some do it as kids to look "cool " or peer pressure and then it becomes a lifelong habit. an addiction that will kill you . the really odd part is the government gives tobacco farms subsities and grants to grow it, then wants to fine them for growing a harmful substance. if chocalate chip cookies killed a hundred thousand people a year they would be banned everywhere,
but cigarettes do and they get a one inch warning label.

I'm guessing it's a way for people to relieve stress.

I hate smoking. I will not even be in a room with someone who is smoking. I despise it to the very ends of the earth.

they say smoking relieves stress and make you feel better.

they may start as a challenge or to try something new. but chemicals in the cigarette (eg nicotine etc) acts on nerves in the brain and spinal cord which are concerned with making you feel good. so the more you smoke the more you feel good.

the body has an internal surviving mechanism called the 'rewarding centre'. this works by making you feel good every time you do something beneficial to your body. this is why people really like the taste of fat - because in the time of fred flinstone, to find fatty food was a luxury. also, this is why people have s e x - because this system is activated, and the people doing it feel good and so are more likely to repeat it. as s e x is intended to end up in pregnancy, it helps to prevent extinction of the human species.

nicotine activates this same system (not saying you'll get the same pleasures of s e x if you smoke, but there is the sensation of feeling good) so people are inclined to repeat this to feel good again. nicotine however, only gives you the sensation of feeling good; it does nothing beneficial to you - the other constituents of smoke damage your airway and predispose you to cancer.

it takes real will power to stop smoking. now scientists are developing a drug which binds to nicotine and so do not allow it to work on the rewarding system, so people do not feel good when they smoke. this will help more people to stop smoking.

hop this helped you to understand why people smoke!!!
