    Re: Why do people smoke?
    I always wonder this too. I used to smoke very occasionally when my best friend did - we'd go to the smoking area in clubs and she'd give me one of her ciggarettes, mainly so I had something to do etc etc. However, I could never understand how I'd end up going from that to actually wanting to go and out buy a packet of cigarattes to smoke. There was nothing about it that made me want to do it again particularly, it just felt like breathing hot smelly air tbh....

    Okay I'm one of these idiots who smokes occasionally, like if I'm out with friends and get the urge to buy some cigarettes (maybe because I've been drinking) or sometimes if I've felt stressed or mad. The reason I do it is because it calms me down and it sort of feels good. I'm monitoring myself because if I ever feel addicted I will stop straight the way. I used to think smoking was disgusting but don't knock it 'till you've tried it. :P

    ffs why neg me. what does it matter to anyone else what i do.

    Why do people eat unhealthily, do drugs, drink alcohol? Same reason, not everyone will enjoy a smoking but some of us do as others enjoys those things
