Why do people smoke?
Post Body

Smoking causes virtually every painful disease there is and like there are no benefits. I guess I am excluding those who are pressured into it a very young age, but why would a rational adult or even teenager choose to willingly smoke? If you do not care about living, there are much more efficient and less painful methods to exit the world if that is what you are going for.`

EDIT: Thank you everybody for the replies. they have been quite overwhelming in terms of quanitity. So the answer is that there really is no good reason people smoke, and it is a mistake people make, because we are inclined to make mistakes

People need to understand that there is not a single thing people do for “no reason”. Cigarette smoking is an addictive habit, but it also can help people kick other, more dangerous addictions. Nicotine is also a brain stimulant and it actually can help people with dementia/schizophrenia. It also gives people pleasure, calms them down, helps them take a break, socialize. There are many many benefits and people that think otherwise do not understand the psychology of it.
