...and I'm being serious here - not a judgement, I honestly want to know...
I just returned from a death where a patient died of cancer. There was probably about 15-20 people in the home, 3 of which were under the age of 18.
Every other person in the house smoked. Every one.
What is the appeal of smoking? Smokers, why do you do it? What are you getting out of that cigarette that is so enjoyable?
I don't understand the appeal and I am not trying to get a fight going or anything. I just stood around and watched all these people and can't for the life of me see what is so great about it.
Ok, I need to shower now....on top of the smoking there was no AC in the house, and I was there for about three hours. Needless to say, I'm a little rank right now (Don't I sound hot now?Anyone up for some luuuuuuvmakin'?.....)

oh man too bad I'm a chick taylor ;)...
haha ok for reals...
Smoking for me when I did do it started in high school....Us rebel kids smoked cause it was "cool." It is really cliche, but I honestly believe that peer pressure starts off a lot of smokers on the habit. And some of us with addictive personalities get hooked. If it's not smoking it goes to something else, like food in my case.
I think a lot of smokers think it's too hard to quit and "we're gonna die anyways, I might as well do something I like." When I quit I kinda realized that wow, I stink like ass. I don't like smelling bad.
ok I'll shut up now.
I have never understood the appeal. Expensive, stinky and bad for you... Now cigars on the other hand........
Cigars? Thank you, Monica Lewinsky!!! They smell 10 times worse than cigarettes!
Cigarettes are really legal drugs. Nicotine is horrible for you, but it feels good...
I have a co-worker whose husband is dying of cancer. Has she stopped smoking? No. I don't understand it, either. She keeps going on and on and on about how terrible her husband is doing yet it doesn't occur to her that maybe quitting smoking might be a good thing? She's 45, but the cigarettes have easily added 10 years to her looks. When she first told me how old she was, I laughed in her face. Until she proved her age to me.
This is very easy for me to say as a non-smoker, though. But I still don't get it.
