Because it looks badass. But I don't smoke, I rather spend my money on alcohol and video games. Smoking is quite expensive.

Yes, that's obviously the reason. Never mind the fact that it's relaxing, or that some people enjoy the taste.

If you honestly think people smoke cigarettes because it "looks cool" you're clueless. Read up on a little thing called nicotine OP.

People rarely smoke just for the fun of it. Many smoke because they are going through stress or other problems and use smoking as a way to cope. This is the main reason why many people start smoking and ignore the fact that it's bad for your health.

Smoking cigarettes is rather pointless. Ganja, on the other hand, can open your mind to reality and cause food and drink to taste heavenly. 420 is the best drug. Ever.

We all gotta go sometime. As for finding other ways to relax, I don't really have the time for all that, I don't have the money for a sports car, and I don't want to waste the gas and pollute the environment cruising for no reason. I smoke because it's relaxing, it relieves stress, and it tastes awesome. And because it's a bit of a social gathering for me.

There are a lot of reasons:

  • Wanna look "cool"
  • Addicted
  • Pleasure
  • The socialness involved in smoking
  • Fun

Yehh...have you ever even spoken to a smoker? EVERY smoker over the age of 15 will tell you that it doesn't look cool. Oh and you do realise that non-smokers will die too? You're not immortal for being a non-smoking you know :? Fatty foods, alcohol and stress also kills you quicker. I'm not denying the effects of smoking but living a long life is generally down to luck and there are plenty of other things that are keen to kill you.

It's probably different for everyone. Sometimes it's just the social aspect, but I like doing it just cuz. You get a decent buzz off of them, and it's a good pick-me-up throughout the day.

I live in a country where people's daily eating habits increase their risk of contracting diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, among other things. I really don't feel like occasionally smoking is going to increase my risk any more than the people I know who eat double helpings of everything and drink nothing but soda.

That's also beside the point. I could also go get in my car and die in an accident today, but that doesn't mean I'm never going to drive again. Life IS risk. The only thing that is certain is death. Some people like the fact that they have some sort of control over their demise. I've always said, when I go, I wanna go on my own terms.

Same reason I risk dying every time i get behind the wheel of a car. its life and I am living it my way. And smoking is part of my way. In fact I think I ma going to roll up a cigarrette and go smoke one now. I do it for the taste,but they sure are relaxing too.

Biggest reason is that I like it. I like the taste and the calming effect.

Second reason is public service. There are a lot of "poor" kids now getting their health care paid for by cig taxes. How can I just abandon them?

I would suggest to you folks that are very anti-smoking that you do some research on just how much money the government collects in taxes from cigs. I live in a rural state and my state collects over $200 million a year in excise and sales taxes on cigs. We have approx 2 million people in my state. Lets be generous and say that half of them actually pay any taxes. If all the smokers quit today everyones taxes would go up over $200 per year because you know the government isn't going to get by on less money. The bottom line is that the govt knows that less than 25% of the population smokes, so they can keep jacking up the taxes and not worry about losing too many votes.

Quite frankly I wish they would just make cigs illegal. I'd rather be buying them on the black market and making the criminals rich. I'm pretty tired of paying all these taxes to my state and my fed government just to be treated as a social leper.

I do it because of the fact we smokers don't tell you second hand ingesters... The stuff we're smoking tastes INCREDIBLE. It's like a French chef hand rolled a 5-star Michelin meal into one cig. It's just the second hand smoke that is disgusting.

they think it is cool to do. i think that it is a waist of money to do that. pack of sigs are $5-6 a pack, people smoke a couple of packs a day.... i hear it's cheaper to roll ur own sigs. i'm assuming this is legal stuff no marijuana or nothing.
