For Those Who Smoke Cigarettes, Serious Question.

[Squirrel]

Why do you drink? It is bad for you.

[Hotsauce]

Fact: I use to be addicted, and smoked for a couple of years as a teenager in the 90's. So I do know and understand addiction. I also know that while 20 years ago doctors did think it was bad, nobody knew just how bad it is. nowadays, with the advancement of science, technology, and most important the media, I do not understand why people continue to smoke....

I completely know what addiction is, unfortunately I wish my only experience with addiction was with cigarettes, but it's not...

My grandmother smoked 1.5 packs a day for 60 years, then one day just quit cold turkey and never had another cig ever.

The thing I have seen and experienced about quitting smoking is you can quit, if you want to, and have the will to want to quit.

well there's your answer, some people smoke because they want to, after 1 or 2 years the physical addiction is the only thing you have to break. After 10+ years it's like getting a freaking divorce. There's an emotional attachment that come along with them that's extremely difficult to break.

i smoked for 12 years. quit... still have a few here and there. just bought an electronic cig to puff on when i go fishing or something.

no likes a quitter.

Believe it or not, there are actual physical benefits to smoking as well. And while smoking additive and organic free tobacco isn't "healthy" , it is a whole hell of a lot better than your normal cigarette.

That said, I quit 4 years ago.
