Reasons for smoking cigarette

Why do people smoke cigarette? I was born in a an environment that has a lot of people that smokes cigarette. Even my dad smoked a lot and he still does and it really bothers me, specially when he does it in front of me or like in the house. I really hate to smell it and it is kinda annoying when you can smell it at a house that you live in. I always ask my dad, " why do you like to smoke cigarette?". he always says that he can not stop smoking and he's addicted to it, even that he knows how bad it is for him.


There are a couple reasons why young people smoke. First is that they want to look mature in front of everybody and act older. Second is that they want to be like their friends. They think the people that smokes are tough and they wanna be like them and other reasons. What about adults? Do they smoke because of the same reasons that the young people smoke?


No, adults do not smoke for the same reasons that the young people do. Adults smokes because of other reasons. They may have a lot of stress and pressures because of personal and economic reasons. They might be unemployed and that's why they are stressed out. Or they might have a job but they don't earn enough money to run their life and their family's life. They could be in bad marriages or relationship and they smoke to relax and get energy while they are going through a hard time.


Some other people smoke cigarette because they are annoyed with their weight and they want to lose weight. If people smoke, they lose almost 7 pounds, so it's a way to lose weight but it's not healthy at all. There are other people who wants to gain weight, that is why they quit smoking.

  1. What do you think of the electronic cigarettes that are being marketed now? Do you think they are a positive change, or do they reinforce bad behavior?
