Smokers - why do you do it if you know it's bad for you.

Addiction?

Tobacco also gives the illusion of pleasure. The first time you breathe in tobacco from a cigarette you will probably start to choke and turn a funny shade of green - that's the real tobacco experience but the effect that tobacco has on the brain is that it gradually replaces this with a pleasurable response. It basically fools your body into enjoying the experience.

But...terbs?

What's the difference between pleasure and the illusion of pleasure?

Nothing I suppose. Pleasurable is as pleasurable feels. Some parasites use the same technique.

I tried to answer a question but I'm obviously talking bollocks. I just made it all up.

Being as thick as mince helps - I believe all the shite I talk about tobacco and yet I still lapse regularly. I'm just a moron.

The cool factor has diminished somewhat.

A pack of Camels doesn't look as cool now there's a rotten lung on the box. And the smoker doesn't look as cool standing in a broken greenhouse mingling with Darth Vaper and the other oddbods.

Never thought it was cool, just stinky, expensive and bad for the health.
But if such a crutch helps people to cope with stress, they should be allowed to smoke as long as they wear a bucket or something over their heads to keep the smell from others.
 
I’ve never smoked either , seeing my Mam cough bits of her lungs up into the sink was enough to make me not bother! Mind you she started smoking aged 11 and lived to 85 yr old so it didnt kill her that early.
