It just doesn't make sense!

Alright. First off, I just want to say that I do not judge anybody becasue of his/her habits. Second of all I am just curious as to why some of you smoke. This whole site is about improving yourselves yet you take major steps backwards with your habit. I am just curious as I do not see any pros for smoking. It just seems thait it ruin your health and costs a lot of money. So out of curiousity what is the point?

Cigaretts = Bad
Cigars = Bad but enjoyable and cool. As long as you dont smoke them too much.

Smoking can start from peer pressure, stress, thinking it makes you look cool.

In general, smoking does add a bit to the bad boy image, so there's a positive. Now don't all jump on me at once here, that's just one positive amidst about a thousand negatives. I'm aware of that.

It can also be a crutch to help you talk to women when smoking. For instance, if you go outside somewhere for a smoke and someone's smoking there as well, it is a little easier to open the conversation due to the fact that you're both smokers.

Aside from those and maybe a few other little positives, smoking is a shytty habit. Don't start if you don't already smoke.

Smoking is like eating chocolate. Its bad for you, but enjoyable enough to keep doing it.

I don't smoke cigarettes, but I enjoy cigars from time to time. Cigars you usually do not inhale, and most people smoke less of them than cigarettes. But its still not good for you.

Except that chocolate doesn't make you smell like ****, make your teeth yellow, or kill you.

Yes it does. In fact, it does all 3 things very well.

Except that chocolate isn't in fact bad for you, and nothing like smoking.

Other than that they're the same.
