For Those Who Smoke Cigarettes, Serious Question.

[Hotsauce]

With all of the scientific evidence that smoking gives you cancer and you die, why do you still smoke?

Basically, all of the doctors and scientists in the world tell you that if you smoke these, you will get sick and die early.

I understand the addiction part, however, there are medications and stimulants to help you quit.

Why do you eat cheeseburgers?

I like to have one or two when I drink or one after I get home after a crazy day. Nothing more.

Yeah, I can't understand it. I smoked for a while, but eventually you have to start really caring about your health.

I smoke Cigars and weed. Tobacco makes me feel good, so does alcohol and unprotected sex.

Dangerous things are fun :)

I have wondered this myself...

You don't understand the addiction part and thats why you asked. I was able to quit thank god.

Well, addiction aside, why would you start smoking nowadays? I mean, it's not like it used to be... everyone KNOWS what it will do to you.

I can honestly say that I never, not even once, desired to smoke a cigarette.

[Panthro]

I also smoke cigars. If you are able to control it...like Ive learned to do then youll be ok

[Guest]

I could never control smoking cigarettes. All or nothing for me, meaning zero or a pack+ per day. I still look back on the day I quit as one of the best things I've ever done.

The overwhelming majority of smokers start at a young age. According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, 90 percent of all smokers started before age 18. Everyone does stupid crap when they're teenagers because they don't appreciate the consequences over the immediate gratification. It's called immaturity. Immaturity + exposure to highly additive substance = tobacco industry.

unless you've smoked in the past, you'll never understand why people do it.

yes it is a gross disgusting habit..yes all smokers know it's bad..but unless you're ready to quit and have the actual want to do it..it'll never happen

[Ja Rhule]

I used to smoke cause I tho it was cool. Then I realized it was not cool at all. I staying cig free for almost 4 years and I still crave one from time to time. Its like drinking coffee, if I don't have a cup of coffee in the morning, ill poo a squirrel (not the huddle one). When you inhale a cigarette, you get this relaxed filling for about 5 minutes. It feels just right. Hard to explain if you never smoked. I went cold turkey cause my fiance had no clue I smoked. She'd probably would never date me. She hates smokers cause her dad smokes a lot.

I won't lie, smoking is great. There aren't many things in the world that can top that first cigarette of the day.

I quit buying them in December of 2009, I would occasionally still have a cigarette or two when I was out drinking, but I stopped drinking in September. Buy yeah, like Pantherfan said, unless you have been addicted to it, you can't really understand why people still do it.

More people will go to the grave early based on eating crap vs smoking.
