I have been trying to figure out why people are still smoking or start smoking in the face of all the evidence of what it does to your body. Anyone here have a good idea because I can't find a good one.

Good question.

I smoke and I have no idea why?

I remember starting for the buzz...

Then you get addicted. What a jip!

I quit back before cigarettes went over i think it was 1.80 a pack. I started having chest pains and i always had a sore throut. I quit and i felt much more alert, then i started working out and running and now im glad i quit. Smoking is waaay to expensive these days. Another thing ive noticed, it seems in my area Newports are the official ghetto wannabe cigarette.

I have 'quit' quite a few times. Once for 3 months while in Marine Corps Boot Camp. I always start back up though. I really do enjoy sitting down with either a cup of coffee, or an ice cold beer and smoking a good ole Marlboro... Also the post eating, post sex cig is a joy as well...

But, I wish I never started. I think my addiction is more mental than physical. Since I have got through the nic fits, and cold sweats quite a few times, and then started smoking again at a party or while drinking one night. Then I remember how much I love to smoke and just start up again.

Unfortunately, i think the peer pressure and the "I'll do it because it's cool" crowds are still rampant.

I 'started' smoking because every now and then because it just feels good to relax to one. And now, after 3 years, i'm up to the rate of 4 (give or take) per month. Dunno if that's a good thing or not - i still get cravings now and then and might be addicted if i wasn't paranoid as heck about it. Now, if it got up to buying a pack every couple of weeks i'd start getting really scared.

i never really understood why people smoked, i mean, i watched my friends take it up, and it looked like they were enjoying it, but i never had any inclination to do it. but one thing is for sure, DARE is a joke, i have never once had anyone come up to me and say "come on, smoke it, itll be cool" they offer, but thats more out of kindness...i mean geez, i offer people gum, but i dont want them to accept. DARE had me brainwashed into thinking anyone who smoked was going to force me to do it, and then kill me or somethin, im glad i realized that wasnt true...
