How do people even get addicted to cigarettes?

[Deserter3]

With alcohol, junk food, other drugs it makes sense. It tastes good or you get drunk, or high. Even though it's bad for you there's some sort of payoff. For cigarettes there's none whatsoever.

It's mostly peer pressure. Your peers smoke, cigs get passed around, you're an addict before you know it.

It makes no sense to me. They smell like shit and they are discusting

I've never taken a single puff, but my guess is males start them to look cool. Females start them to look cool or to lose weight, or both.

I tried cigarettes once out of curiosity, never had the urge to try ever again

Are you joking? Nicotine is the second most addictive substance after Heroin.

When I saw your name I already knew it was gonna be some smug bullshit. Of every vice too choose it makes zero sense too choose the most boring unrewarding one

[DryGermanGuy]

Obviously a childish person like you has no use for science. This topic has been researched for decades now. Again, nicotine is the second most addictive substance. I have seen documentaries with smokers after their cancer treatment (often laryngectomy) and some of them were still smoking.

I understand it's addictive, I'm saying it's the most boring unrewarding one. Get a personality, bro

It’s the nicotine in them that makes people addicted.
