About the stress relief argument, that only works if you're already a smoker. My first cigarette tasted nasty and just made me a little dizzy and nauseous. I was already smoking weed quite heavily (and mixing it with tobacco as we are wont to do in this country) and it was a stopgap solution during a weed shortage. I don't really smoke weed any more unless it's a special occasion, and I recently quit cigarettes - not out of a conscious decision, but just because I couldn't be bothered to go to the shop to buy more. But they look real tasty when I see others smoking.
EDIT: and BTW, I was 18 when I started on the weed, which is pretty late around these parts.

Its quite saddening that most people are going towards the THEY JUST WANNA BE COOL DAWG LOLOLOLO route.
Granted some people do that, but most people I know do it to calm themselves. I do it because I enjoy it and it does calm me but I mostly enjoying the sensation of it and the feeling of it. I also like smoking whilst listening to music outside at night because it makes me feel like the only person alive on the planet for about 10 minutes. Smoking highs are also a good bonus.
These smoking hatred threads are getting far too popular, there are worse things than smoking.

It makes people happier. Thats the entire motivation for everything everyone does, directly on indirectly everyone works towards happiness. I think we need a thread asking why obese people eat so much, because the number one killer in america isn't lung cancer, its heart disease.
i only smoke when drunk, smoking is pretty chill.. you shouldn't throw around assumptions before trying something.. it's like if you're against alcohol saying exactly what you said, except you put in smoking instead.. but then you try alcohol and you realise it is fucking awesome. ^^
The only person who smokes in my immediate family is my dad, and he only smokes top quality Cuban cigars (suffice to say, he only smokes one or two times a year)
I myself am not a smoker, but from what i have seen from the people around me and the things i have learned about WEED, I'm kinda tempted. I saw it on "Super High Me". The doctor told that one guy that he'd been smoking weed for like 17 years, and that he was just fine.

Actually, in movies, everything is done in such a way to try to make the protagonist look "cool" or "evil." Including smoking a cigarette. I tried to avoid the media-driven reasons for smoking, but hey, if you want a media-driven reason, there you go.qeinar said:
However, that is one of the reasons Snake smokes. Your sniper shots are more accurate if you have the cigs equipped, and the scope wanders less. Handy if you run out of Pentazemin.
weed is less dangerous for you than cigs since there is way less tobacco in weed. also a big part of the reason for the delegalization of weed was that it was associated with crimes back in the day when it was legal. Although having weed in you probably won't make you feel more like robbing a bank (although you might find that a cool idea when stoned, but robbing a bank while you are stoned is probably really hard..)LamborghiniJackson said:
oh also cool fact on the snake part there (post above this), i ment it abit ironicly.. : p
I grew up in a house where both my parents smoked... and drank. Granted, I have a natural immunity to alcohol, but I smoke cigarettes because my drug of choice isn't legal. Seeing as how they are working as hard as they can to make cigarettes as easy to get as say, a supermodel with a good personality.
I'm working on quitting before the government tells me I can't smoke anymore. Thanks to the PACT act, it's getting entirely too prohibitive to get them at a decent price. My mom needs to quit. She's got a horrible smoker's cough, but she's at the age that she farts when she coughs. Totally has ruined the humor of farts for me for a while.
Besides, it's not like I have a wife or a girlfriend or kids to worry about killing with secondhand smoke. So as long as people are just killing themselves, let them. So far that isn't illegal.

Nicotene acts as a mood stabilizer that helps reduce stress at a chemical level. Some people smoke for the same reason others take drugs like Prozac -- because they are experiencing emotions that make their life unpleasant.
And some people just want to look like Lauren Bacall.
