Why do People Smoke ?

There are many reasons why people smoke and are not able to quit. They are explained here. 
Smoking is injurious to health


   1. Peer Pressure: In case of teenagers (especially of early teens),    they start smoking out of curiosity. They see their elders, their parents etc. to smoke and then they smoke for the first time to see what happens after smoking. They think that later on they will not continue but they fail to do so.

   2. Confidence: Some people say that smoking increases their confidence and they are able to face some difficult situations easily. If they do not smoke, then they feel inferior to others.

   3. Social Smoking: Social smoking occurs in parties when people start their conversation by offering a cigarette or a lighter. People often think this is a good way to start a conversation and reflects the high status of a person.

   4. Bored: People often do something to engage themselves when they have nothing to do. Some start biting their nails and some start smoking. In this case, people do not have the urge to smoke but they smoke to kill their time when they are alone.

“Cigarette smoking is injurious to health”. We all know this. We all read this on a packet of cigarette. Still we do smoke. But the question is, after knowing all this, “*Why do people smoke*”.
