WHY DO PEOPLE SMOKE?
People smoke because they are stressed from work/family problems. Many people use smoking as an excuse to become thin but it's only reducing your sense of taste. It's also a social activity, some find it easier to interact when smoking.Smoking is also brought up by peer pressure and sometimes rebelling against parental authority. Most smokers are in denial, they know it's bad but they just keep convincing themselves it's good.
Teens who smoke are 3x likely to use alcohol, 8x likely to smoke marijuana & 22x likely to use cocaine.
