For what reason do people smoke cigarettes?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
They are addicts: They are physically addicted to some of the chemicals in cigs and require them or they feel terrible. Everything else is secondary. Please don't start. You'll lose your freedom and your health.

Addiction.: People who start smoking are often looking for stress relief or caving to peer pressure. After that the addiction sets in, and they continue smoking because they're hooked on it.
