Question: Why do people keep smoking if they know it's KILLING them!?!?!?
I'm just wondering why they do keep doing it if they know what it's doing to them!. I know it's adictive but that's no excuse to keep it up!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Because they are so addicted that they would rather waste their life killing them selves instead of spending their life having more time to waste!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Actually, yes addiction is a perfectly valid reason why people keep smoking!.!.!.Have you ever been addicted, I mean actually ADDICTED to anything, where if you stop it you experience really nasty affects due to the lack of whatever your addicted to!?

Just a few nicotine withdrawal symptoms:

*Tingling in the hands and feet
*Sweating
* Intestinal disorders (cramps, nausea)
* Cravings to smoke
* Irritable, cranky
* Insomnia
* Fatigue
* Inability to Concentrate
* Headache
* Cough
* Sore throat
* Constipation, gas, stomach pain
* Dry mouth
* Sore tongue and/or gums
* Postnasal drip
* Tightness in the chest

Yes, you may think these symptoms aren't as bad as as the alternative i!.e!. cancer, but for the most part that consequence of smoking is pretty far off, and the withdrawal symptoms are an immediate thing, and not at all pleasant!.!.!.!.

Oh yeah, by the way, FYI: nicotine is a STIMULANT

By the way, I am NOT a smoker!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Smoking is a practice where a substance, most commonly tobacco, is burned and the smoke tasted or inhaled!. This is primarily done as a form of recreational drug use, as combustion releases the active substances in drugs such as nicotine and makes them available for absorption through the lungs!. It can also be done as a part of rituals, to induce trances and spiritual enlightenment!. So people who smoke they can't stop it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You & I are both thinking
"!.!.!.it's addictive but that's no excuse"!.
We may KNOW but we don't UNDERSTAND that!.
Smoking is one habit we'll never be able to understand unless we've been addicted to it, or something else!.
It's hard to just quit or overcome something when your body craves it!. I've never been addicted to ciggys but I know quite a few people addicted to all kinds of stuff (drugs, cigarettes, eating disorders [including overeating], pornography, cutting, stealing, and even lying) and I see that it's hard for them to break a habit that their minds and bodies "crave"!.
The normal mind thinks:
"Hey! CANCER STICK!? Don't put that in your mouth!"
The addicted mind thinks"
"Hey! Cancer stick! Just one more try won't kill me!."
It's crazy, but we'll never understand any of it unless we experience it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Smoking is not different than eating junk food!.
They both will end up killing you, one way or another!.!.!.!.
Addition to nicotine and to carbohydrates, are the biggest problem the health care industry is facing now!.
Process food with additives and preserves, will poison your body little by little as cigarette does!.
By The Way!.!.!.!.!.I do not smokeWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well the part of it is because they want to look kool and also they think nothing will happen to THEM!.
and also its like when you are lying, you know ur doing wrong but you still do it!. But smoking is like not a small thing, well i hope every one stops it and makes the world a better place to live!.
Peace!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know, I have a relative that lives with me and smokes!. But the nicotine is very addictive and when theyt don't smoke they start shaking and stuff, so itys a hard and painful process, especially if theyve been doing it for a long time and used to just think its "cool!."Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm personally not addicted, but I smoke on occasion simply because I enjoy it and it helps alleviate stress!. It's not the pinnacle of healthful things to do, but I guess because it kills slowly rather than right there, it doesn't matter to me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Everything body does something they know is bad for them, look at your own life and I'm sure youve done something that you knew you shudnt have!. I dont smoke, never would, hate it!. But its somebodies choice to smoke i think, and prehaps smoking helps calm them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

that's what I was wondering, but after doing it ONCE the craving is sooo hard to ignore!. Yesterday, I searched this one place for used cigarretes 'cause I didn't have any!THAT'S how addicting it is!. It relieves stress!. You have to try it to know what it's like!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Once the nicotine gets into your bloodstream, it's like a drug that you cannot give up because your body starts to depend on it so much!.
Granted, though, you're right!.
You can only use that as an excuse for so long!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because they know second-hand smoke kills others, and they want to take them with them when they go!.


Unlike what many people are saying, smoking doesn't relax you or reduce stress!. Smoking increases your heart rate, so it actually is making you more stressful!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i know this sound weird but it does help them not to stress!. people want to stop smoking but its very addictive!. and you may not believe this but it helps them to stop stressing and they can just relax!. you will just need to understand!.
