Some have tried to quit but have returned to cigarettes because smoking is such strong addiction.It is habit that is very difficult to break. There are many different reasons why people smoke.Three of the main reasons that young people smoke are to look mature, to be like their friends, and toexperiment. Since teens see older people all around them smoking, especially their parents and relatives, theysmoke to act older. If their friends or peers smoke, they may feel pressured into doing the same to beaccepted. The last reason is the excitement of experimenting with something that is forbidden. InMassachusetts it is against the law for anyone under 18 years old to smoke. Usually parents do not allow theirunder age teens to smoke. Therefore, smoking becomes very attractive. It is exciting to get cigarettes andsneak away to smoke without being caught.Adults smoke for other reasons. They may have lot of stress and pressures because of economic andpersonal problems. They may be unemployed or working but not making enough money to take care ofthemselves and their families. They may be homeless, or they may be dealing with alcohol or cocaine/heroinaddictions. Some may be in bad marriages or relationships in which there is physical and/or verbal abuse Allthese people may smoke to feel relaxed or to give them energy while going through hard time.Whether young or old, some people smoke to control their weight. Smokers, on the average, weighseven pounds less than non­smokers. Smoking reduces person's appetite. It lessens his/her sense of taste andsmell. This could be why ex­smokers gain weight after quitting cigarettes. Food tastes and smells so muchbetter.Finally, there are people who say they love to smoke. Smoking gives them pleasure. It just makes themfeel good.
