    I don't know... probably because they feel like it?

    Smoking is one kind of addiction. If anybody accidentally get addicted to smoking, he/she smokes without knowing why he/she smokes. The frequency of smoking gets increased during the mental exitement, or tension. I have never smoked (but I live in a smoke covered city).

    To be honest, I started smoking in college because you feel better doing heavy drinking. Mostly, smoking stops the feeling like you're falling off the face of the earth when you're drunk.

    Yeah, I know, not the greatest thing I can do.

    That's the simple answer.

    I started on my own only last year. I'm 17 now. Didn't start because of peer pressure or anything, just because I wanted to, and yes it does relieve stress if only for a short while imo

    Just FYI, as I didn't realize this before I started smoking. But depending on what you brand you smoke, you actually start to like the smell of smoke.

    There have been many studies on this subject. Some say it is genetic, others say it is many factors combined. If you poll smokers you will find that the honest ones will tell you that they started because of peer pressure. This the number one reason someone begins to smoke.

    They continue for one reason, it is an addiction. Anyone that tells you "I smoke cus I like it" is full of shit. I smoked 2 packs a day when I quit. That was twenty four years ago.

    this is a very good question...

    now i understand why people drink alcohol or smoke joints of marijuana or snort coke. i really understand it gets them "high" or drunk or whatever and they feel a concrete and unmistakeable effect...

    what i dont get is why would anybody start to smoke when it does NOTHING?? inhaling smelly smoke that does nothing:confused::confused:

    its all garbage the whole lot but smoking is by far the silliest addiction one can have. maybe chewing tobbaco is stupider but just a little.

    as for addiction if anybody has a problem quitting they are welcome to stay in my mountain hut during the winter theres no road out and no smokes to be had. the only way out is when spring comes and the snow goes away..

    Take a quick look at how nicotine affects brain chemistry. Its basically like a shot of adrenaline straight to the brain, thats why people smoke.

    I smoke the occasional spliff, tobacco mixed with herb. Makes me feel great and relaxed. Thats all there is to it.

    I'm not sure where you got your information from, but as LinkSales mentioned, nicotine is a stimilant. You do, in fact get a "high". Especially mixed with, say menthol.
