There is no definite answer, but there are some leads. People smoke because of the way cigarettes are advertised and where they are shown. People also smoke because they believe smoking will make them act, look, and/or feel different.

Who smokes? High school graduates, blue collar workers, and men in low income brackets who are more likely to smoke than men in higher income brackets, white collar workers and people with college educations. Women who work are more likely to smoke than housewives, or women in households with a low family income. In addition, children from households where the parents and siblings smoke may learn the habit more frequently than children in smoke free homes.

Advertising techniques are one of the main reasons that people begin to smoke. Cigarette companies claim not to target young kids, but that is very untrue. Have you ever seen a billboard with normal, middle aged person smoking? Do they show people with stained teeth, wrinkled faces, and a large cloud of smoke hovering over their heads- the direct results of smoking. No. Instead they have figures like Joe Camel. Some children are as familiar with Joe Camel as they are with Mickey Mouse! In the first 4 years that the Camel ads featured Joe Camel, smokers under 18 raised from 1% to as much as 30%. The cigarette companies know that children like humor and cartoons, and Joe Camel has both.

If you don't have the intelligence level to write your own answers, and have to steal from other sites, at least quote your source. Technically that is plagiarism, and is illegal.

I smoke because it's relaxing, it calms me down through a hectic day.

Because people have a right too i smoke it was MY Decision
I do it because i wanted to for the hell of it what others think ; ummhm do i care? Screw what others think i Made my decision and im NOT a bad person for it.

Though it is a PROVEN Fact That Smokeing really Does NOT Calm u.
 
I do not smoke, I am 16 years old and I have never smoked in my life.
The only thing I smoked was weed (with tabacco, but I tried to stick it to a minimum). I read that nicotine is 2-3 times more addicting than heroin, so how can you be addicted only after 9 months? This means I can use heroin for 18 months and than become addicted. BULLCRAP!

Smoking is a bad habit, alot of people only realise when they are 60 years old and look like 80 (YES, you CAN see the difference in age, with old people).
The have to breath out of a bottle of compressed pure oxygen and shit.
And what REAL effect does it give, I think it's the same as holding up your piss for 2-3 days, and than urinate, and think: What a relief!

Cannabis has a noticable effect, you get stoned, and you can really feel it. With nicotine, you feel nothing.
 
im not going to even answer to some of these stupid question you need to be a smoker to really answer this question
im not one and im hoping it will stay that way

ps your practicly smoking when you go in the city (melbourne)

Jesus H Christ, the 4th backseat mod post I have seen you make. Moderators are here to deal with that sort of shit, nobody wants or needs you to backseat for them.

Also, I myself do not smoke tobacco, occasionally smoke chop but it's just not something I have ever gotten into. The smell is mostly what puts me off.

I smoked, quit and started again.

Well, It relaxes you for one thing.
I enjoy the holding of it and style, not too look cool it just seems fun.
After an argument or stress it makes me feel better
It isn't expencive that's bullshit, I smoke 2 a day and I'm not addicted nor does it cost me £1000 a year, you have to smoke literally 20a day for it too ad up that much.

If you buy lunch 5 days a week for work or school at say £4 that's over £1000 ($2000) you have to smoke a pack a day to even get close to that, and who the hell smokes a pack a day.

It makes your clothes stink, hair, clothes and turns your teeth yellow? Bullshit. Washing your clothes kills the smell, I wash my hair everyday anyway and I don't have yellow teeth!

Yes it Probably will kill me but smoking 2 a day I'm not addicted and that's the honest truth, smoking more then this gets you addicted for me persoanlly. I can quit anytime I want and I enjoy it, however I am stopping again because of the whole cancer thing, but some of the risks of smoking are over exagerated like the yellow teeth and crap.

. All of you out there who post saying how smoking is nasty and bad, need to shut the fuck up. You can not preach if you dont smoke. You dont know what your talking about so please, just leave.

So you need to smoke to understand it will kill you?

Wow...
 
I'm 14, and I've smoked.

Why?

- To try it out, I was actually alone, so the possibility of " showing off to your friends, etc " wasn't there. I tried it out because, believe it or not, I LOVE the smell of smoke, and I still do.

- Smoking doesn't get you high of course, but it does get you light-headed sometimes, if your not a usual smoker.
 
Smoking isn't addictive to everyone...I started smoking when I was 14 I am now nearlly 17. I'm not addicted I have one like once a week on a weekend. That's if I go to a party, no I don't do it to be cool. My drinking is alot to do with why I smoke.
 
Wow... I respected konvict111 but now that he steals all his answers from websites like the one listed above... But I think people smoke because they are trying to ruin there lungs... lol jk its because it chills there nerves and body for a good 30sec-3mins.
 
Personally i don't do it, and the people who DO smell awfull. My dads girlfriend is a heavy smoker and i can't stand her. :lol:
 
i want to see what smoking feels like but i dont want to..cause it takes away 5-7 minutes of your life for each cigaretted and im afraid i'll get busted smoking and i will be addicted to it..so its not worth the rist and idc if it reduces stress and all that shit
