Why ppl smoke

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.collegeboy64

Because it's addicting.

Because the light attracts moths and all smokers secretly fancy moths :omarkop2003

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.iam2green

Yeah the whole lawsuit thing back in the 90s was such a scam. When the states counted up the supposed cost of taking care of smokers they were never required to offset those supposed costs with all the taxes they have collected over the decades. Plus studies have shown that over a lifetime smokers average health care costs are lower because they don't live in to those later years (74+) when non-smokers rack up over 80% of their lifetime health care expenses.

Not to mention that here in the states if everyone quit smoking Social Security would go broke just that much sooner because people live, and therefore collect benefits, longer.

Tobacco: It's relaxing, and for a lot of people it's the only relaxation they can afford (in time and/or money). Some people also use it as a social thing, going out for a smoke with someonoe, and of course a lot of teenagers do it to look cool or something.

Marijuana: Well, why wouldn't they.

Crack: No idea...

PCP: Well, if you want to fight off the cops in a blaze of glory, it's probably your best option.

I smoke because people get permbanned here for no reason.

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

This doesn't answer the question of why people start smoking in the first place.

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