Is it normal people seem to love cigarettes/tobacco for no apparent reason?

They have a whole bunch of reasons, but the biggest one is addiction. Most smokers smoke because they feel so shitty when they stop.

If you're a smoker, smoking tastes good. It calms you when you're nervous and invigorates you when you're sleepy. It's really satisfying after a meal, after sex, after just about anything. The biggest reason, though, is that withdrawal is miserable. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise -- even if they tell themselves otherwise.

I know because I used to smoke for years. Clove cigarettes got me hooked on the nicotine, and then I just did it because quitting felt awful. I'll be a non-smoker for four years in a couple of months. It is SO good to have quit.

Of course thats normal while myself being a fine example,at first i was attracted towards cigarette just because it enhances the stunning look of the actor on silver screen,i liked to grip that rolled tobacco just for its manly outlook. Now i'm a smoker just a starter.....but while ending with few puff i feel my lungs are not in favour of this man between my fingers. But still i like it B-)

People still think it's cool for some reason... People start smoking for social reasons, it seems so they can ask people for a lighter, or papers, spare tobacco or whatever then start conversation.

Or maybe they think it's cool to be all like 'I'm damaging my bodayyy, but I don't like care ahuhuhuh'

Nearly all my friends smoke, all of them regret starting.

I don't normally talk about it because I don't want other people to start. I have been a nicotine slave since I could buy tobacco with brief breaks when I tried to quit and missed it too much. Why I continue to use: it gives me energy, relaxes my muscles like nothing else can, helps with appetite and it always puts a smile on my face.

Why I started: I was reading Sherlock Holmes and the references to tobacco made me want to try. My first time I started smoking out of a old man pipe and I had this brief moment of feeling fantastic before feeling really sick from overdoing it. That brief moment of feeling fantastic was enough though. If anything it made it more tempting because there is a challenge there like eating food with hot chilies.

I continued to smoke pipes and cigarettes while reading books whenever I had time to spare. I was pretty soon a regular smoker.

I quit smoking over health concerns eventually and started using smokeless tobacco and here I am. I still love the feeling I get from tobacco and I likely use more nicotine than ever. I've pretty much given up on quitting at this point and accepted that cancer is a real possibility, I just love it too much. I hope that answers some of your questions.

One other thing I would say is that tobacco is likely the strongest antidepressant and anti-anxiety agent available over the counter. So I think that there are people that depend on it for that reason too.

If you havent had a cigero in quite a while you can physically feel the effect nicotine has on the body and it is awesome. I only smoke when I am drunk though and again it feels really good, especially that first cigaro of the night.

Just watch the old TV cigarette commercials from the past-that'llmight give you a clue.

Well its almost like a problem solver ! you have an issue grab a tissue but in other peoples case its a cigarette.

I like Molotov cocktails for no apparent reason. Cigarettes are nasty. Especially Marlboro cigarettes. Cheap Capitalist trash.

IIN people seem to love you for no apparent reason?

I like living, but that shit will kill me anyways. But I keep on living. I know, I have a problem. I'm trying to get over it, but LIFE IS JUST SO DAMN ADDICTIVE!!

All my friends smoked back in the day so I tried one. That initial "buzz" was what got me hooked. I chased that feeling for a couple years. It never came back so I quit after about the 5th time ha

many people don't smoke fine cigars just because they are addicted, they enjoy the taste and the consistancy of the smoke. just because you don't like something doesn't mean other people shouldn't be able to.

Sorry op but .. People who drink or get addicted to drugs don't always have a reason behind doing it apart from being socially accepted .. Then just like trying a cigarette for the first time , they get hooked before they know it & voila ! They get addicted .. !
