What do you get out of smoking?

What do people get out of smoking? I honestly can never and will never understand the concept of smoking. I don’t see a point in it and I don’t see any logics in it either.
So let me ask those who smoke this question, why do you smoke? Let me take a guess: You smoke to blow off steam, correct? If so, have you ever thought about the number of other ways you can blow off steam? Exercising, talking with someone who cares about you, sitting down for a few minutes or laying down, taking a walk, taking a hot shower, doing something you enjoy, etc. These are just out of the top of my head, so I am pretty sure there are many more ways to blow of steam. So why do you choose smoking as opposed to the numerous other alternatives?

How about this, do you smoke for the fun of it? If so, who are you kidding? Even a child would know there is no fun in smoking. Smoking does not make you die sooner as I believe in death at a given time, but it does cause more health problems for you. You are filling your plate with lung problems, breathing problems, kidney problems, just to name a few health issues. Where is the fun in that?

Maybe you smoke because everyone else around you is doing it? If so, then if everyone jumps into an ocean, would you jump with them even though you can’t swim? Of course not! So why are you jumping in this ocean of smoking fiesta when you don’t want health problems?

All smokers, please share, what do you get out of smoking?

Is it an answer ?

Is it because of lacking of self confident ?

Yes, possibly because there is a lack of self-confidence

That might actually be one of the reasons. Some people simply smoke because they don't have enough confidence in themselves.

How about this one....

I love when they tell me because they love the taste. My reply is always, "I love lasagna but you don't see me eating it every 5 minutes!"

Smoke in the air?

DJfrOKI that was a good one!

The thing is, even if they say that it's not really all about the taste. You know all those patches and gums that have been appearing for those who want to quit? Well, they taste exactly like a cigarette because they contain the nicotine in the cigarette, but that doesn't satisfy smokers.

I have also heard that some people simply enjoy blowing the smoke. I know someone who once was in a dark place or something and he couldn't see the smoke going up in the air and ever since that day he stopped smoking. No kidding, it's been about 20 years now and he hasn't touched a single one.
