    I have avoided cigarette smoke for years because the smell alone takes me back to my mom. She disappeared almost a decade ago - addiction, homelessness, then eventually oblivion. Today I hit a low point and bought a pack of American Spirits. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, but for some reason I just missed my mom so bad I wanted to smell cigarette smoke. I've gotten 3 puffs in and I can't finish it. I looked up videos like this to snap me back into reality, but something just got me today. Some weird compulsion. I understand why people find it so hard to quit now.

    smoking became a large parte of my adolescence, i made my mom quit when i was 12, but, suddenly at 16 i went directly into it, due to many reasons including heavy trauma and abuse it seemed like an escape, and mostly because it felt like it would distance me from the reality i was living, one guy offered it to me in an event and i just accepted it; yes, i hated it, the physical part of it, smoking, feeling the hot cigarette on my lips, and that nasty tasting air on my mouth, but for no reason more than accompanying the guy that offered it i kept going, and suddenly it became a real problem, i smoked until 19 and decided to quit, and i did. i spent a year and half or so free but suddenly something terrible happened and i fell back into it, my mom started smoking too, so, the presence of the smell lit that desire in my, somehow i quit smoking again by sheer will, and now at 22 I'm back at it again, wanting to quit once more, i regret that i let myself get into a substance i had and have no desire to actually want and crave, hopes i can stop again, and never go back.

    I think the reason I started 45 years ago was that so many adults smoked, you almost grew up expecting that when you became an adult you would smoke. The hippest people smoked and the nerds and bookworms didn't. When most adults smoked, things like the smell weren't even a factor. That smell was just a part of life.

    Smoking made me paranoid. Nicotine is a stimulant drug. Since it’s a stimulant how in the world is it gonna relieve stress? That is like taking Caffeine to go to sleep. It only relieves the stress of not having a cigarette when you smoke one. The only reason smokers smoke is to end the edgy, insecure feeling that the previous cigarette created.

    There are a few benefits to smoking. 1. Reduced sense of taste -Less desire to eat which leads to weight loss and can help to keep you skinny. -Bad or very strong tasting foods are now more palatable. 2. Reduced Sense of Smell -Makes working, traveling, or living in foul smelling places bearable. 3. Stimulates your brain -Helps you concentrate on tasks for longer. -Helps to keep you awake longer. 4. Increases your blood pressure: -Some people have very low blood pressure, which can become a major medical problem. This especially effects people older than 60 believe it or not. Smoking has lots of harmful side effects but you have to ask yourself the question: why have humans historically smoked tobacco for thousands of years? My theory is that in extreme moderation it can be beneficial to people.

(Temporarily) But there are many healthier ways to overcome such conditions. Such as, a good sleep at night, be good on essentials like 1. good vitamins inn take 2. Good and balanced in take of proteins and carbs 3. Good omegas inn take 4. Good probiotics inn take.

    I started smoking when I was 15, and to this day, still do so heavily at the age of 40. I'll admit that doing so for the cool factor was the biggest reason why I initially began to, back when smoking was far more acceptable, and could smoke virtually anywhere (whether it was inside, or outdoors) unlike now, with how many restrictions there are on where you can, and can't smoke. The fact that it was cheap back then was another factor too. That and it did feel kind of great to be doing something which I technically wasn't supposed to do for the first time in my life, I.E. the "forbidden fruit effect/theory." I also began smoking in order to look older, as I hated it, and would kill my self-esteem when I'd get mistaken for being somewhat younger than my age. That of which was almost always the case until I was able to grow a full thick beard when I was 17. Being able to take extra breaks (albeit only quick ones at a time) at the job I had at the time was also nice because of this habit, which made me love working there, unlike the previous year as well! The other major motivation as to why I became a smoker was the fact that I desperately do NOT want to live to be ancient, with how that horrifying possibility literally scares me ten times worse than death! I figured taking up smoking was one way to MAKE SURE that doesn't dare happen on my end for that matter either! L.O.L.!

    I've been smoking for many years, and there are many ways to answer "why people still smoke." It has hundreds of factors involved, an individuals daily cigarette consumption, how often they go between cigarettes, etc, among many, many other factors. I smoke because it's just something Ive always done, I enjoy the taste of tobacco, the physical aspect of whipping out my zippo to light one up and also it does in fact help you concentrate, and alleviate stress in certain high stress situations there is no denying that. I smoke about a pack a day, and I can comfortably go 4 hours without even thinking about it. I'm in a very good mood overall and I'm rarely ever stressed out, so really smoking has been something that's been part of my life for so long, it would just feel so weird to not smoke.

    a pack a day. You will die, and you will have to look your children in the eyes as you die, and you will have to accept that you killed yourself. Right infront of your children, you killed yourself. You decided to keep smoking, smoking a pack a day which is insane. Stop trying to cope, you're just addicted. Quit, before you will have to admit, you killed yourself knowing your children will experience it.

    @@Fabifabiguden I smoked my last cigarette in early April 2022. I quit cold turkey. Since quitting, I have actually never craved a cigarette. I am probably a lot older than you. In my day, it was normal to smoke. Most of my friends did. Those were in the good old days when people lived and let live. These days, there is a perpetual war on smoking. It really annoys me. Why? Because these days, young people do far worse things that smoke cigarettes. These days, they're into drugs and all sorts. All I have ever done in my life is enjoy a few cigarettes and enjoy a few drinks. Nothing stronger. By the way, I have never vaped; and nor do I ever intend to. I think vaping is far, far worse than smoking cigarettes. In fact my opinion was validated today when I watched a very informative video on the dangers of vaping. Many people who vape are vaping all day long. That is not usually the case with a regular cigarette By the way, it is good that you never took up the smoking habit. You have saved yourself a lot of money.

    The reason people still smoke is because we are supposed to. The reason people quit smoking is the same. The illusion is free will. Here are 2 objectively true facts: 1. A person "Can" quit smoking. 2. Humanity "Can Not" quit smoking. It's pointless to try to disprove either one of these facts. Even if you can get a few people to quit, more will start faster than you can stop the others. Catering to nonsense like this video just feeds right into the trap they have set for you.

    I'm fully aware of the poison that is tobacco and the horrors of addiction. Yet the poison smells good, the deaths caused yearly make it seem more compelling, the gears of capitilism slowly crushing me between their teeth. Complacency is easy in a world that seeks to take advantage of you, the smallest of escapes becomes the only reprieve amongst a life of torment and self hatred. I don't smoke but often wish I could pick up the habit for these reasons. Despite my knowledge of it's immense dangers and the reality that my romanticization of tobacco is wrong about one thing: it's not very fun.
