    Default Why do people smoke?

    Like cigs and shiz.
    just wondering,.


    and i doubt its to look cool because people smoke when nobody is around. So they wouldnt do it just to look cool.
    does it feel good or somethin?

    for dumb reasons i guess, like smoking a cig after dinner. i really enjoy smoking somehow.
    other than that i live really healthy so i hope i can make up for it a bit.

    cigs - you can get buzzed, it releases dopamine, makes the illusion of relieved stress, makes social interaction easier/more bare-able.

    shiz - depends what were smoking but you can look the shiz up and its effects. Usually a better stress relieve than cigs tho.

    None of the reasons, to me, are acceptable.

    The only reason that matters is that it's because they want to.

    This.

    I don't blame it on addiction or peer pressure or anything like that, because when it comes down to it the reason I put a cigarette in my mouth and light it up is because I want one.

    Herb - started out because I liked it...progressed into medical reasons. Not that I don't still LOVE it, but having the doctor tell you "smoke a few times a week, or get a spinal tap every 4-6 months for the rest of your life" I chose the obvious answer.

    (edit: yes, that is honestly what he told me. The alternative medicine for my condition is frequent spinal taps and pills that make you want to vomit.)

    Many people I know who smoke cigarettes started because they started working. People would go out on "smoke breaks" and eventually that turned into "hey, you want one?" which turned into "I'm gonna go on a smoke break" which turned into "I smoke to relax" which turned into "I'm gonna go buy a carton."
