Question: Why do people smoke cigarettes!?
they're addictive but not when you first startWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I think smoking is way more of a psychological thing than a physical addiction!. I smoked for 6 years and quit cold turkey one day and never had another craving for a cigarette to this day!. Never had withdrawals or anything!. I think its because your mind tells you that you need it, and then your body follows suit (i!.e!. cravings and withdrawals)!. People always say "smoking calms me down" but really its just the IDEA of smoking that calms you down, because when you smoke a cigarette your heart beats faster, your veins become more restricted, and your metabolism increases all of which will give you a sort of "adrenaline rush"!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it has a lot to do with the crowd you grow up with!.

For example, none of the friends I hung out with the most when I was at my most impressionable age(12-17ish) smoked, and therefore I never started!.

On the other hand, if your around people at that age who do smoke, your much more likely to start, and the cycle just continues!.

Also, a lot of people just find it enjoyable!. I know that sounds weird to a lot of people, because it is so unhealthy, but some poeple just like the feeling of smoking I guess!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know really!. Some say it relaxes them and helps with stress!. I know they can be addictive very quickly though not sure exactly how long it takes!. I guess it is the same as anything else people do like why do some people start overeating in their life!. I don't really know!. I think it is becoming less popular now for people to smoke!. Some probably started to be cool or because someone they know smokes and then they easily became addicted to it!. Who knows!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

People smoke because they're addicted!.

Guys start smoking because they're trying to emulate some group of older guys!.

Girls start smoking because their boyfriends smoke!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

people smoke to feel special, to fit in or to stand out
some think it relives stress others get stressed out by how bad they want one!.
there is no real good reason to smoke!. people just doWww@Answer-Health@Com

Because people want to be "cool", they start smoking in the first place, soon they become addicted and it's all downhill from there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Some people say that it's good for their stress and calms them down, and others do it to lose weight b/c it refrains ur appetite!.!.!.!.but when I smoked, it made me hungry!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because they are so dumb and stupid!. Most of them start out early in life to be cool!.!.But now they can't afford the habit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
