now now I don't have beef with smokers. But I just don't know why people do it. What in it for them? It doesn't have any benefit that I know of in fact it's harmful to you and those around you. So yeah why do you smoke?

What's the point of MAL?

i love it when people start acting like some neutral almighty unbiased godly judge and they even believe their own shit, suddenly its not their thoughts and opinions anymore but the righteous justice god way, they are unbiased, non-subjective, they just are! To be honest, everyone is like this quite often, me included, but i don't forget myself and i still post a lot of personal shit which is what forums are made for , if they didn't want us to have our own style and posts it would be an article instead a forum thread.

Because they want to? people smoked, drank and screwed whores for many thousands of years now. Who cares what people do with their own bodies, life's short enough without making people do what we think is right.

It's addictive.

People start out of curiosity or to try and relieve stress and they get addicted.

Dude I met on a temp job was saying that after a while you develop an oral fixation. But I'm pretty sure there other factors too. As to how you start, that could be a toss-up too.

If you have this mindset you are pleb who's easily manipulated. People like you one day will destroy the world. I guess you are one of those people who doesn't recognize themselves as individuals.

It's a bad habit. Once you start you are addicted and it becomes your main source of stress relief.

Every day you live you are already one step closer to death.. Smoke em if you got em.

Now what people should be taking into consideration is all the harmful chemicals in processed food and food dyes that slowly kill us. At least smokers know they're harming themselves..

You dont have any benefits from smoking, it just ruins your health (and you can get lung cancer), so why would you ruin your health on purpose? Smh I dont get it

Now thats bullshit.
I smoked my first cigarette out of curiosity when I was like 19 and then continued for like 2-3 months. Then I simply quit because I saw no point behind it. "Addictive"...sure.

Because they want to I guess, they all know they're gonna die from it. Which is why I think we should start adding asbestos to the cigarettes in order to help the smoker on his way to where he was heading anyways.

It's a vice, much like other things in life. People may do it to distract themselves, to calm down, look cool... A lot of possible reasons. The point of it? Gratification.

A lot of people don't actually KNOW they're killing themselves until they do. They may think they do.
I used to smokeweed and cigarettes,but I quit. the rate at which it took a toll was too much, my lungs started to creak after a year, and paranoia symptoms are crazy LOL.
I think yes, some people have their reasons, some people do it to die, but regardless, I don't think it's worth it enough.

It's had a lot of time to be seen as cool, and the advertisements for them have been memorable like the Marlboro man.

Now we hide the packs behind counters and remind everyone it kills you. People will always do it unfortunately.

Buy a pack of cigarettes on a friday.

Start with two or three per day.

Go out drinking on saturday: smoke twice as much as yesterday.

On Sunday, realise that you only have four cigarettes left and the store shuts in an hour. Rush out to buy another packet before it closes and once safe in the knowledge that you have more, smoke the four cigarettes you would otherwise have left.

On monday, as you are on your way to work, realise that your opportunities to smoke throughout the day are limited. Even though you do not really want a cigarette right now, if you don't take this opportunity you will have to wait until lunch time to have another.

Repeat the entire process for an entire week.

On the next monday, realise that if you have a smoke before you get on the bus as well as after you get off, you can enjoy even more cigarettes before you start your shift.

Next saturday, spend the night drinking at home with friends. Decide you simply can't be bothered going down the five flights of stairs to have a cigarette, and so end up smoking in your flat. Throw the ashes into a mug.

On the following Sunday morning, reason that the flat smells like ash already anyway, so it doesn't really matter if you smoke in your room anymore. Start doing this everyday.

Next weekend, buy or steal an ashtray specifically.

Several weeks later, realise that cigarettes actually taste awful. Continue to smoke them regardless.

Start lighting your next cigarette off the one you are just finishing. Continue to smoke regardless.

Cough up blood for the first time. Get a little spooked and go to the doctor. Receive prescription for antibiotics. Have another cigarette on your way home.

Hey, hang on... did you have a question?

It depends what you smoke.
I find that smoking cigs is more like a social entry thing so you can talk easily to other people who smoke cigs. Weed and Shisha to help you relax and put you in a good mood (this is more so with weed). Others for the hallucinogenic effects
