It's not rocket science. Smoking causes cancer, heart disease and is expensive to boot. Why would anyone with half a brain light up?

Well it does contain a super addictive drug.

Do many people under age 60 smoke nowadays? It's mostly verboten in public any more so it's hard to tell. If you have to get your nicotine on, vaping seems to have vastly fewer health effects than smoking, although they'll probably find something bad it does to you eventually.

The constant creation of this exact thread over and over has given me cancer.

Because I am prone to self-destructive behavior and cigarettes are the titties for sex, food, pooping, coffee, and alcohol.

For me, it was stress. I started up a year ago when I had a death in the family. I've been off them for a month now.

ETA: It was a coping mechanism.

More than you think. It's more of a subcultural phenomenon than anything else. Social pressure dictates the acceptance of tobacco use immensely.

Same reason they smoked in 2014


Rates are actually down and continue to drop. And if you do it occasionally a nicotine habit is easy to pick up without really realizing you're doing it

Maybe some people are so scared of the big bad carbonated sugar-water smokings help relieve the stress

I quit a few years ago and started up again due to a close death. Been about a year since I lit up. You can do it - it's definitely worth it.

Personally, I'd rather smoke, get cancer and die than eat fricking junk all the time, become a giant, disgusting fat arse and live with diabetes as people make fun of me as I ride my scooter around wal mart.

This reminds me. Interestingly, I can't find it but we were looking at some data that suggested, when examined separately, not exercising is actually worse for you than smoking.

And there are way more people who don't exercise than there are that smoke.
