Why Do People Smoke..??

I have never smoked. i think people are smoking to free from worries....

 

has anyone said 'because its cool' yet? I love this answer... I dont smoke anymore, gave up 4 years ago well... maybe once in a while I will have one if I am drunk... I am planning to smoke for a week when I go on holiday with my brother who smokes A LOT!

 

What do you mean by a lot?

 

i don't smoke, and i don't know!!!

 

I smoke because I like it, I like the way the smoke tastes, smells, and besides, even when I'm doing nothing, I'm doing something....

 

My dad was a pack-a-day smoker and it was horrible! he tried quitting but never did. I tried when I was a kid and got sick. When my mom found out I wished I never tried

 

The american indians believe that the smoke carried their prayers up to God. Some teenagers do it to fit in and feel cool. Some other people do it to relax, or as something to pass time. And the rest are just addicted to the nicotine

i don't smoke!

but people smoke coz its simply to release tension or pressure.

Smoking is their way of relaxing their stressed mind and body..

 

Do you think smoking is a sign of weakness? I do, in a way. You know that it is bad for you yet you allow it to happen, there is something wrong with that. I smoked for years and am now a non-cig-smoker. Even when I smoked I felt weak for not being able to make myself quit. Just like right now I need to diet more and exercise. I don't and I think it shows my weakness to comitment and hard work.

 

I'm your average pack-a-day smoker who really enjoys it to be honest. 90% of my friends are smokers too so quitting is pretty hard.

 

To show that their is burning.

 

Here's a great article about smoking and native american religion http://www.garynull.com/Documents/nativeamerican.htm

I don't think their views are that far off. They believed that you inhaled the smoke into your body, and when you exhaled the smoke carried their prayers to God.

I don't necessarily believe that smoking is the only way to communicate with God, because he knows your prayer before you even exhale; however, I do think it's more of a ceremony and could have it's benefits

 

Smoke because you made a bad judgement somewhere in your past and now you're addicted. Until you've been addicted to something you don't knwo what it's ilek it sux.

 

I also think it's stupid but overall it's seen as cool where i live.

 

I am not a regular smoker...

But Why do people drink? If its to get a floating experience, then i tell u "SMOKING IS A PERFECT ADD ON WHILE DRINKING" Thats why I only smoke while I take a drink. It boosts up the pleasure if taken while drinking.

I have never done smoking without a drink... And as i take drinks twice a week, i have not become a chain smoker either...

 

I'm in the same boat as you.

 

depending what it is.. it will give you a high and relax you.. I use to be hoooooooked!!! on acid cigars.. I have one every once in a while now.

 

Because they are stupid. And they want to take chances with their life.

 

I kissed my first girl and smoked my first cigarette on the same day. I haven't had time for tobacco since.
