Why do people (start) smoking?

[espio100]

/title
All articles I read are some nicotine addiction shenanigans. I still dont get it 100%.

Personally I smoke very rarely. Either when im bored, like waiting for my class to start or for my train to arrive. Or when im very stressed out and im having some kind of mental episode. It does help a bit and the ""high"" gets my anxiety a bit under control when im over thinking stuff.

But im batstuff terrified of getting addicted. At the rate I'm "smoking" I can easily get half a year to a year with a single pack but still. Im getting worried im actually starting to get addicted to it. Stopping doesnt seem that big of a deal to me tho. Im kinda addicted to coffee and I can stop for a week (or more)  if I have the willpower to but cigarettes are a different story since its more addicting or something idk.

So do people start for similar reasons or is it just cause?

Also excuse my grammer and whatever, I had a few beers.

Besides some kid saying "here kid try this" I have no idea why someone would pay basically a whole hours worth of minimum wage to smoke.

So I don't know how people start smoking other than peer pressure.

just don't smoke cigarettes. if anyone tries to pressure you into smoking one tell them their a loving idiot and they're going to basically spend their entire adulthood slowly killing themselves begging for some way to quit their habit. I my siblings used to smoke and it took one of them ten years to finally stop. none of them smoke now and for that I've been at ease

i used to work at a convenience store and young people come in all the time asking for cigarettes and all the time they talk about how they wish they could stop smoking. if you're smoking you should stop right now. it's a rabbit hole that you do not want to go down.

a) they think it gives them character
b) stress
c) as a hobby

If you drink coffee and beer, ask yourself why you use those drugs. the answer is probably very similar for cigarette smokers.

edit: although I see you're more interested in why people start smoking. no clue honestly, I can think of a handful of alternatives that get the job done, and are less unhealthy and less expensive.

By now, Jake's two-incher had grown to it's full length and was throbbing fit to burst. Jake could not wait any longer, and neither could Finn. Jake penetrated Finn's virgin bootyhole with gusto, and began pumping. "Oh my gosh, Jake!" moaned Finn, "That feels so Algebraic!" Jake said nothing, and continued pounding. Being 12 years old, Finn did not have much of a wiener to speak of. Nonetheless, he began massaging the spot where a snake should be, crying out in pain and pure ecstasy while he did so. They did this for about 26 minutes, before Jake suddenly stopped. "What's the matter, buddy?" Finn questioned, "You run out of juice so soon?" "Naw, man. I just had a great idea! You remember my stretchy powers? The ones that make me grow huge?" "...Yeah?" Finn answered cautiously. Suddenly, Jake's two-inch-long rooster expanded in Finn's ass. It grew and it grew and it grew. Finn began screaming, but not because he was in pain, but because his body was now being filled with Jake's beautiful genitalia. Jake continued to grow until his doggy lipstick was 300 feet long and as wide as a city block. "Jake... You really are a true bro." Finn squeaked out, barely able to speak. "Thanks, dude." Jake said, and smiled. He knew that now, Finn and himself were inseparable friends. Nothing could ever come between them. And with that heartwarming moment, Jake continued. Jake kept pumping and grunting, back and forth, in and out of Finn's backside, his doggy balls slapping on what was left of Finn's body. "B-Bro. I think I'm about to come!" Exclaimed Finn. "Let's come together, as one! As true BROS!" And they did. Jake released his load all inside Finn. So forcefully, in fact, that some came spurting out of his mouth. Jake's jizz flew so far, it even reached Lumpy Space, hitting the Lumpy Space Princess in the face. Jake shrank down to his original size, and exited Finn. Finn's body has been wrecked beyond recognition by Jake's large phallus, and he now resembled a large pancake made out of flesh, with a boston creme filling. "We did it, Jake... We really did it." whispered Finn. He had not much time left in the world. Jake recognized this, and moved in closer. "Yeah, buddy. We did." Choked Jake, fighting back tears as the realization that Finn was going to die. Finn raised his hand, and made a fist. Jake did the same, and bumped it against Finn's. And with that final heartwarming moment, Finn passed on.
