Why do people start smoking?

[Crushed]

I've never smoked, all of my friends do, I just never wanted to, and they respect that and I respect them for respecting that. I do drink though.

Your talking about cigarettes right?

I don't know, they probably try one and if they like it they keep smoking because they get addicted to the nicotine. I tried one at a party when I was like 16 because I was drunk and I thought it was disgusting and tasted horrible so obviously I wouldn't become a smoker but I guess it just grows on some people.

Stress
Depression

For me, it really was enjoying the sensation of blowing out smoke from my mouth.

That novelty was not enough to get me severely addicted, so I was able to quit with ease.

because they see others doing it

I've tried cigarettes before for a week. It didn't relieve me from my stress or anything like that except how your mouth tastes like ash. Sucked.

Some people like getting tar in their systems but don't like the traditional way of just eating it.
