Best Answer

An addiction to cigarettes starts by smoking them. Cigarettes contain a chemical called nicotine. The nicotine triggers receptors in the brain and causes feelings of relaxation or pleasure. So after a while, when someone starts to feel stress, they have conditioned themselves to reach for a cigarette. There is both the physical addiction of the nicotine, and also the psychological factors. The psychological part include the habit of putting things in one's mouth, as well as factors such as stress, loneliness, boredom and nervousness leading the person to want a cigarette.

In young people, usually peer pressure. They may hang around with others who start smoking and they pressure the person into smoking aswell. This usually happens within school.

If smoking is bad then why do people still smoke?

The only reason why people smoke is because of the nicatine (ni- Ca-teen) inside it. You see, Nicatine is a substance that attracts the user to the smoke. Once you start smoking, its like you can't stop. when people are young, they start smoking because they want to fit in and all that. So they have their first smoke because their classmate or whatever applies "PEER PRESSURE" on them. After that smoke, the Nicatine spreads and you become addicted to the cigarette. In conclusion, if you smoke, you'll ruin your life and upset those who love and care about you. And probably get Lung Cancer when you're older. So do the World a big favor: Don't Smoke.
