Why do young people think it's cool to smoke?

[Ephemeral]

The same reason they choose to drink.

You know, I find it funny when drinkers critisize smokers. It's like a porn star critisizing an escort. The pot calling the kettle black.

IMO, if you drink alcohol, you're in no position to critisize or look down upon smokers.

It makes me look cool.

Right?

Is there any other reason to start other than thinking it makes you look cool?

Because its not allowed by their parents... thought this one was pretty obvious.

They don't think it is cool. They want to commit suicide but they don't have the balls to do it fast.

I don't think it's cool, but I liked smoking. Still do, but I quit anyway. It's bad for me, blah blah blah, amongst other things. I wasn't really addicted enough to have physical withdrawal, but I was certainly addicted to nicotine.

It was a nice thing to do while enjoying a breath of fresh air. Yes, along with a poisonous cloud of crap. The two complemented each other very nice. I was only up to smoking two a day or so for a few weeks, so it certainly still gave me the nice headbuzz that hooked me in the first place...
