Well why else would you smoke? It's either to get high or to get cancer. Or in some cases to get high and assist in easing cancer if you live in a state where marijuana is medically legal.

Great way to relieve stress and gives me an excuse to go outside for some air. Gotta love living near an Indian Casino that sells a carton for $20.

I know people in New York have spoken of paying upwards of $15 per pack of your average cigarettes.

You do realize you're suppose to do a daily sanitizing process in it right? You want to keep your slaves alive and healthy, not slowly stinking away the place.

Unless you're a necrophiliac. Then I'd have to tell you that you're a sick bastard that deserves every disease that you will contract.

I never got the point of smoking cigarettes for most of my life, until recently. I stopped smoking weed about a year and a half ago, i'd smoke usually once every night about an hour before bed, when i'd smoke that was "my time" it was the only time of the day when i could think about what i was doing and aiming for in life, maybe just relax let go of any stress from the day, etc. Well when i stopped i felt that "my time" was gone, i no longer got the chance to just relax or contemplate on my life anymore so about 4 months ago a relative of mine visited and she had a electronic vapor pen and she let me try it and i really liked it it tastes good and you can get them with no nicotine, so i bought one a few weeks after that and even though it didn't make me high like pot just the act of doing that "smoking" or vaping really it was the same for me. I just needed that brief few minutes to sit there and blow smoke to center myself. I'd have to assume its the same for some people along with a mixture of chemical dependency. So it might not be that they even enjoy doing it, like with weed to be completely honest i think i enjoy getting high more then i did being high. Kinda how some people read a book or do yoga, i feel smoking is the same thing for some people its just 100x worse for you lol.

I smoked cigarettes for a 2-3 years before completely dropping it. Well, I still have my last pack stored in my desk but I have no desire to smoke it, it's just there.

I do remember growing a dependence where I would physically feel sick until I had a smoke; plus college and a long distance relationship had me beyond stressed. I didn't like people watching me smoke, it feels pretentious walking down the street blowing smoke in everyone's face. But I believe stress and appearance are usually the two reasons why people smoke.

Usually the question shouldn't be why do people smoke, as it's fairly obvious:addiction. The question we should ask is "How did they start in the first place"?

Rebellion? Curiosity? Either way, it all ends the same way.


Curiosity, added with the fact that I thought it looked cool. I soon learnt it wasn't (and was also harming my best friend, who had nothing to do with me smoking), which caused me to stop. To any guys who are just curious; don't start. It tastes shit and it does nothing to help you.

I smoke when I'm with my friends. I can totally live without cigarettes, and never smoke when I'm home alone. So yeah, I guess it kinda has to do with peer pressure. But I don't feel forced to smoke because the others do, it's just that I like it, it's convivial and pleasant, outside, at a café, or during a party, I enjoy our "cigarettes-break" pretty much.
As I said, I enjoy it, and don't feel dependence, so, I don't plan to stop so far.

question in the title is different from question in opening post.

people smoke for different reasons:
peer pressure is reason #1 imo
#2 is curiosity
#3 would smoking as "escape"
(I have no data, deal with it)
then maybe "I want to look cool" or something
and theres plain stupidity or the desire to self-destruct

how do you get addicted? It depends on how your brain handles the drug.
For further information -> google it or ask a doctor.

I saw a graph on Wikipedia showing heroine to be the only popular drug more addictive than nicotine. Scary stuff if you think about it since it's actually legal.

They usually start by curiosity or are influenced by their friends.
Some think it's ''cool'', but one thing is certain, it's not very cool to get lung cancer and when you're smoking you're basically burning your money.

Because people are easily influenced by others and have a strong desire to fit in, especially when they have no confidence. They pick up the habit to look cool/fit in, and the consequence is a money pit that causes a multitude of chronic health problems to themselves and those around them. There's also an addiction they've created. Most people think, "I can get over my addiction like an on/off switch," but that's not how the brain works. When you do something extensively that's become a part of your life, it becomes programmed into your brain and written into your system. You have created a tendency to desire something, no matter how many years pass, and will continue to pop up as a "consideration," whereas if you hadn't smoked, it wouldn't at all.

I used to smoke.

I did for the same reason you did. To be part of a group, but later when I wasn't obliged to be part of it, I was smoking because of stress. That changed and I stopped smoking after breaking up with my ex because as it turns out, she was the cause for most of the stress.

Good thing I broke up with her. American Spirit is expensive.

Some new smokers get what's described as a 'nicotine buzz.' Though, I doubt that's what made them feel 'relieved' so it may very well have been placebo.

I smoke strictly grass because it does provide relief and quite frankly hasn't killed a soul. On the other hand I could care less if someone wants to smoke cigarettes or not it's just not in my best interest to do harm to myself.

That's a very shallow approach you use. I admit you're sort of right though, cold turkey is the by far best method to actually quit, but it requires patience and isolation. Also a heck of a lot willpower.
