Smokers.... Why do you smoke?!


Question: Smokers!.!.!.!. Why do you smoke!?
Answers:
I used to smoke!. I started because I was curious, I threw up the first time I smoke a whole cigarette, yet I kept doing it!. I was told it was a good "stress reliever" so I kept doing it for 10 years or so!. I never did find it was really that good a stress reliever, maybe a little bit - it was more of a "argg I need a cigarette" reliever (addiction)!. I don't think it really helped with other stresses in my life aside from the fact that i would take time out - which I could have done without a cigarette!
And then as the tax on cigareetes steadily increased so did the financial stress of smoking!. Eventually I gave up and its one of the best things I ever did!. It may have been hard in the short term but it was worth it!
Now (12 years later) I hate the smell of cigarettes and I don't like passing someone in the street that is smoking cos its sooo gross!.
And to the person who said about smoking marijuana - that's addictive too!!! Don't believe anyone who says its not, i have known a lot of people addicted to it!. I've known people that have given up Heroin, yet can't stop smoking pot!Www@Answer-Health@Com

why !?
I am 51 and when I went to school the teachers used to smoke in class yes that's right, in the play ground and in the class room, I can remember smoking in shop's Woolworth's was a shop you could smoke in and tesco you could also smoke in,

I could also have a smoke in a hospital bed!.

in the old days it was not looked on as badWww@Answer-Health@Com

I smoke because I'm totally addicted to it!. I am a slave to cigarettes!. I get no pleasure out of it at all!. I have attempted to quit many times and it just didn't happen!. It's just like any other addiction!. The urge to smoke is overpowering!. I am going to try to stop again very soon!. It's a horrible habit to start and I want to set a better example for my children!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hmm, this is a question I've been asking some of my family for a while! You know what the answer is!?

"Because of you!."

Lovely!. I guess they've become irritated by my constant nagging to give up!.

I'm 17 and haven't ever tried smoking!. I don't think I ever will either!. I know the affects it can have on you because my granddad died from smoking two or three years ago!. To see him suffering with pain in hospital for a few weeks before passing away was torture!.

I know it's an addictive habit, but just think of where you'll be in a few years!. Being blunt, it'll most probably be the death of you!. If you're happy with that, that's fine with me!. But think of your family or children!. Do you think you're setting a good impression!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends what you smoke,
smoking tabaco is addictive, and people want more and more, and can't stop, or they think it's cool!.
however, smoking drugs, like marijuana(!?) is smoked for the effect it has on the body!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it starts off as something you just try when someone else has a cigarette or a prime time or a blunt and you try it and than you start doing it more often until its all the time!. its a really bad habit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
