I know what you mean, i asked my dad the same thing, and he just said ''i've been doing it for years''

my other family smokes alot too, luckily, none of them have any health problems yet!. The point being, is i think it's stress, acting cool, and other reasons, but the thing is, it WILL affect in the long run, so it really isn't worth smoking in the first place!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It varies from person to person!. Many teenagers smoke because it makes them look "cool!." By the time they realize how bad it is for them, they are addicted, only smoking because they have to, not because they want to!.

Personally, I enjoy smoking!. I love the smell, the taste, the appearance!.!.!.everything about smoking!. I think it looks cool, but I'm sure most people will disagree with me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There isn't any point!. However, most smokers start when they are young and are trying to impress their friends, or people do it socially!. By the time they realise that its pointless, they have become addicted to the nicotine in cigarettes and find it very difficult to stop!. Therefore they continue to smoke, even though they know how silly it is, because the cravings are hard to deal with!.
So the best advice is to save your money, and not start in the first place!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It looks cool and lets people know that unlike most cowards, a smoker is not afraid of death!. Also if you find that you are able to run too fast or for too long it will put a stop to that!. It can also help if your clothes and hair do not smell like an old ash tray not to mention it takes care of any annoying spare cash you might have lying around getting in the way!. But most of all (pay attention now) it provides stress relief and solace for when annoying whiny relatives pester and annoy you by asking you stupid questions about smoking!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is no point!.
I started smoking when I was 13 years old and I think I did it because my friends did!.
Gave up when I was 21 when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter!. Started smoking again when she was 3 months old!.
Then just over 9 weeks ago i just decided to give up!. Hated the smell it left on my hair and breath!. I also kept coughing!.

I gave up using will power alone as i have tried nicotine patches in the past and they did not seem to work for meWww@Answer-Health@Com

The first two or three make you feel all "soft and restful"!. After that, nothing happens except that you've just got yourself a lifelong and expensive habit which gives you no pleasure whatsoever!. Excellent for the government in the taxes it raises, but it puts a bit of a drain on the National Health Service and then goes on to kill most people!.
Good, innit ! ! ! !Www@Answer-Health@Com

i smoke and i hate the fact that i like it so much when i know its killing me! i want to give up but everytime i try and i dont have the willpower to kick the habbit! You really wouldnt understand unless your a smoker or have had an addiction to something! its a very hard habbit to kick and its very hard to try and explain to someone who doesnt smoke! i dont suppose there is much point but an addiction is an addiction!Www@Answer-Health@Com

some people smoke to relieve stress and apparently it relaxes you too, but more often then not some people do it out of sheer boredom or peer pressure!.
Others do it too look cool, but in the end smoking is bad and filthy!. cigarettes kill you slowly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is no point though!. They just do it cause they addicted!. It costs loads of money and wastes your health!.
Smoking has no point but once you do it you have to keep going or feel withdrawal effects!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its a relaxing drug,just like alcohol!.
People start smoking because its been encouraged by someone else,and before they know it,their hooked!.

What was once seen as a social pastime(many yrs ago),has turned many into a leper!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There's no point!. They're just addicted!. Not just because of the chemicals in the cigarette, but because developing a repetitive habit like smoking is hard to break!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

smoking is just satisfies a craving for more - it is a waste of time, you get nothing out of it!.

Smoking doesn't look cool, since when has bad breath been cool!? It looks like an adult pacifier!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its a way to pass the time when theres nothing going on!. it makes conversations less boring and you can play with the smoke!. i quit but those are the things i liked about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

there really is no point, unless you happen to be addicted to nicotine!. I calms me down allows me to deal with judgmental people!. keeps me from eating too much!. its an addiction what else can i say!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No point at all!.
Why then!?
Unable to stop!.

I don't smoke but one of my friends does and she just says its because theres nothing better to do and everyone else does so why not!? I don't get it either really but thats her reason!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Some people smoke to 'relieve stress' it seems!. I don't buy that, and it's obviously harmful!.

Stay away from smoking!. It's not worth the pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's drugs!

And if he says that he's not hooked, just wait until he runs out of ciggies!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It looks cool! I don't smoke, never really have, but even I admit it looks cool - even if it is a dirty smelly disgusting habit, which it is, it still looks cool!
