Why people start smoking?
Can't say why people start smoking these days.
But.
I am 54 and we were heavily, call it "brainwashed" if you like.
Candy cigarettes sold in the corner store.
Basically ..white chalky surgery things with a little red tip to resemble.in kids mind.a real cigarette.
Packaging closely resembling the real thing.
Brand names on candy similar to the real thing.
A yeah.and chocolate cigarettes also.
chocolate covered in paper.to look like real smokes.
There were no restriction on who cigarettes could be sold to.
My old man used to send me to store when I was 8 years old to get him pack of smokes.
Is it any wonder kids started smoking back then(in the 50's and 60's)?
The commercials back then would have you believe that smoking was just a relaxing past time.
"take a puff, its SPRINGTIME!"
Back then we were manipulated by professional marketers.
Don't know the reasons these days.
in 1959 I was 8 years old
every adult I knew smoked

That is a very difficult question to answer.
It is a combination of factors. It starts with young people who may put more importance on being cool or yield to peer pressure. At that age future consequences with health are light years away. By the time people realize that it is a dirty filthy expensive habit that ruins your teeth and health while gradually killing you and costing an arm and a leg they are so addicted they can't quit.
The hardest thing I did in my life was quitting smoking.
Because lady nicotine is a faithful lover she never leaves you till she sucks your soul and body.And you cant leave her either Rebellion, laughing in the face of mortality, to make pretty patterns in the air.
But mainly because people tell you not to.
I know,it is disgusting. The reason they keep on is to relieve stress.Also, because tabacco's very addicting. Withdrawals from nicotine is horrendous..some fair better than others while trying to quit.
Nicotine has a calming effect, could be why some start nowadays.I started back when it was cool to do so. And I always felt I needed it to calm me even as a teen. I smoke because it is my choice to. As far as the government putting the scare into people, it doesn't work for me. They have no proof that smoking causes cancer,that's what pisses them off. They don't want to admit that the factories that billar out smoke daily, the buses semis and car exhaust put pollutants in the air.Not to mention the jetliners dumping fuel in the atmosphere before they land.
I had had bronchitis all my life. The only things that aggravate it is To hot,cold, and frigging perfume.I have never had an attack because of smoke.
Crap people must think smoking just start in the 50's. People have smoke back in the ac period. maybe not cigs, but pipes.How many people have reached the golden years off 90 or the 100's that still smoke. Think about it. i smoke over a pack a day due to my very busy job - i need it - relaxes my body.
i truely know that it is bad for me, but then i would have to quit what i am doing.
