Answers:
i have no idea.. and i did it for almost 20 yrs!

now a non smoker for the last year and i have no idea why i used ot do it... jeez it smells and smokers smell and it is nasty!

i didnt realise until recently just how fresh the air is! it feels so good to breathe these days..

Why, are you thinking of starting?

stops you from eating.

Havent got a clue why anyone would want to suck hot smoke through their mouth & blow it back out again especially with all the proven evidence that it will more than likely kill you!!

There isn't one. It is disgusting, and you will be dead before you are 60.

Normally it's peer pressure. After that it's addiction. If I could go back to being 13 again, I'd tell my brother to put dad's cigarettes back behind the radiator where we found them and never look back.

I used to smoke, and can't for the life of me work out why I did.

Some young people are deluded and think it is cool... nothing cool about all the health risks involved OR the risk to your beauty.

Look at any old lady who smokes and you will see the wrinkles of smokers make their mouths look like cats bums. Not very attractive at all really.

Dude there's no attraction at all in smoking, its a bad habit and not at all good for your health. its really a turn off.

The initial buzz after that you are just maintaining a level.

Instant gratification, that's what. A powerful hit of a mood-altering drug.

Goodness knows what the attraction is in having your breath and clothes constantly smelling of stale smoke and having nicotine stained fingers! As for the health risks well say no more!

well no real attraction really, at least not now tobacco advertising is banned, it's all down to peer pressure and once you've succumbed to that it's an addiction that is both costly to your health and pocket. By the way I am a smoker who was drawn in by the ckever ads of the 60's and early 70's. However smoking has been shown to have a positive effect as an appetite suppressant, and a canadian study professes that smokers are less likely to develop alzheimers than non-smokers as smoking increases the rate at which the synapses in the brain transmit neural information. While cooking with aluminium pans can make alzheimers more likely to occur. Your choice, but if i had the chance again I certainly wouldn't start smoking.

shuts me up from talking for 5 minutes.

I would like to know what the attraction with Alcohol is, I am tee total and don't understand that either.

STRESS-RELIEF!

God only knows what we're going to do when they ban this!

im a smoker myself and really theres no attraction that i can see...depends on what your smoking i guess...

Teenage rebellion. Whatever you tell a teen to do, they'll do the exact opposite.

Initially, it's usually as a way to look cool with your friends. Im an ex-smoker. Recently I saw a group of kids smoking and I thought, with all the health risks etc., smoking is still very often a badge of coolness for young people. It always has been and Im sure it will be for a long time to come.

That's how it starts. When you become addicted then you smoke simply to satisfy a craving for nicotine.

Most people start smoking at a young age, their mates offer them a *** and under pressure they accept. It all starts there, if i could go back in time i would not have been there on that night. So i would nt have been asked. Theres no attraction, believe me. but why should do gooders take away my right to have a *** when i want one, Have you people never heard of meeting people half way. shame on you.

There is none. It's disgusting!
Some people feel pressured to fit in and they see people they look up to doing it (parents, friends, celebrities, etc) so they think it must be okay.

What attraction?!? Smoking is disgusting!

I'm a smoker and I can tell you first hand, THERE IS NO ATTRACTION TO SMOKING IT'S A TERRIBLE ADDICTION!!! IT MAKES YOUR CLOTHES, HOME AND BODY STINK FROM NICOTINE !! I WISH I COULD STOP BUT QUITTING SMOKING IS WORSE THAN GETTING OFF HEROINE THIS IS A FACT. ANYWAY STAY AWAY FROM SMOKING IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!!!

If you have never smoked, you will not understand. I smoked many years ago and have quit. However, even though it is a nasty and dirty habit, there is nothing more relaxing after mowing the lawn to lean back in a lounge chair with an ice cold bottle of Coke and a Virginia Slim Menthol. You just totally relax and it is truly wonderful. Ask someone who smokes, they will tell you the same. It is the same kind of feeling as eating chocolate really. Maybe that will give you an understanding.

Its a bad bad habbit. Me and hubby quit for about 3 1/2 months. and I can remember thinking after eating what do non smokers do after they eat? or when they drink?

'attraction' for smoking is..... to bj cigerattes till you die of lung cancer and heart diseases.

having smoked for 32 years I gave up nearly 3 years ago - there is nothing attractive or should there be about putting chemicals into your syste. Cigarettes are full of them hardly any tobacco.
