I dont know. Smoking is stupid to me. Once their blood pressure starts messing up, and they can't get it up for their lady anymore, they will cry.
I dont fancy erectile dysfunction. That's why I don't smoke and I never am going to.
Peer pressure, movies making it look cool…now they’re addicted.
Good
It’s nice having a product that’s literally addictive.
Because it feels good I also find men smoking really sexy for some reason.
I speak as a cigar smoker
It's relaxing, pleasurable it tastes good and admittedly comes with a bit of status even celebration
Because it makes them feel good. Same reason people have sex with people when they’re not sure they are std free and they could get accidentally pregnant.
Life's too short to care about what could kill you in 40 years when something could kill you tonight
Because most your age who start aren't thinking beyond a couple years., let alone a few decades.
Probably cos it's addictive and the body craves for more when it goes without the substance for a long time due to withdrawal problems.
That's something even I don't understand. But then again, it's an addictive substance. Sometimes they get used to it and can't go without it.
Cigarettes are neurodegenerative and improve cognitive function the nicotine is good for your brain
it’s the thousands of carcinogens that are bad for you
The addiction. One of my colleagues tried to quit and she lasted 3 days.
Because they like the way it makes them feel. Smoking can calm your nerves, and even bring on a buzz. That’s the way addiction works. Being aware of the harmful effects of something, but continuing to do it anyway.
for the same reason why you probably still eat fast food even though you know how harmful it is.
Same with drinking or having a really bad diet. People make bad choices all the times that's life.
Advertising and media. It used to be all over the place but now I think it has slowed down a bit as far as advertising goes.
I mean everything is dangerous if you think anything can kill you
It's a habit they've formed that they can't break away from easily, just like drugs
I don't know. It was almost completely out of fashion when I was in college. However it has found a resergence with medical marijuana and vaping.
Stress reliver I suppose but nevr understood the additlction
I don't understand it either. I also get instant headaches when I smell it, whether tobacco or weed
