Why do people keep smoking even though they know its harmfull??!!?!


Question: Because it is an addiction and is not easy to just give up. I have actually managed to give up using willpower alone and have now given up for 19 months. Feel so much healthier but I sympathise with anyone struggling to quit.

addictive

Addiction i guess.

i am trying to cut down then give up coz it is costing me alot of money a week. but its hard. when its so addictive and wen u are stressed the best thing to do is spark up.

I asked this a long time ago and got loads of abuse from smokers! No rational replies, just abuse. It's hard to defend the indefensible.

People keep smoking even though its harmful to them because they get addicted to it. Some people have an easier time quiting smoking then other people do. Some people can not after they start even knowing that it is harmful to them.

When you're young, you think nothing will harm you. Then (as said above) it becomes addictive. I smoked for 23 years, and quit cold turkey (almost 8 years ago) ... Thank God! Smokers don't listen to "health reports" and other people about how bad smoking is. A smoker has to get to a point where they WANT to quit (for their own reasons), no one can talk them into it. It's crazy!

suppossed to be more addictive than heroin! its still seen by young uns as cool and rebelious, I say its still ridiculous that fags r legal considering they kill, but what do I know I have never smoked!

Why do people take harmful addictive drugs?
Why do people drink too much alcohol?
Why do people eat too much?
Why do people take little exercise?
Why do people take part in dangerous sports and pastimes?
And so it goes on. The answer of course is because they are human.

I do because I'm a hopeless nicotine addict.
Why do people drive cars when they know they make you lazy and over weight?

because we enjoy it and we subsidise the nhs for nonsmokers try not drinking it's bad for you try not eating what you enjoy it's bad for you try not breathing [air's full of all sorts of chemicals now]it's bad for you

They damn fools that's why!!

I enjoy smoking. I especially like the smell of my own secondhand smoke. Whenever possible, I smoke in my bedroom with the doors and windows closed just so I can inhale that wonderful aroma.

Because it is addictive, I am a smoker, and I really wish I was not, I have tried so many things to stop... but I will never stop trying to quit.. The same reason why drinkers don't stop, the same reason why over eaters never stop, the same reason why junk food junkies never stop, this list could go on and on
