Why did they stop using atomic bombs?
If you are referring to WW2, then the US stopped using atomic bombs on Japan because Japan agreed to surrender. Had they not, the US had plans and production setup to drop a total of 23 atomic bombs on Japan in 1945.
Reason against using the atomic bombs?
They kill.

What stops countries from using the atomic bomb?
Nothing, you can't stop using something you haven't started using. The only country that has ever used atomic bombs is the US, that was to cause Japan to stop fighting during WW2; when they surrendered the US stopped using the atomic bombs on Japan.If instead you really meant "What prevents countries from using the atomic bomb?"; that is a far more complex question to answer.Most countries are prevented from using atomic bombs simply because they don't have them. It costs a significant investment to set up the infrastructure needed to make them and few countries wish to make such an expenditure when they have higher priorities.Formally, many countries are prevented from using atomic bombs because they have signed treaties against using them. But they could either choose to withdraw from or abrogate these treaties at any time, so such treaties only prevent a country from doing what it isn't planning on doing anyway.Some countries are prevented from using atomic bombs by public opinion.It has frequently been claimed that fear of nuclear retaliation prevents countries armed with atomic bombs from using them on each other. One form of this idea is called MAD. However one can never be certain that a leader with no such fear might come to power in a country and just attack anyway.etc.
Did World War 2 first start using atomic bombs?
No, it started formally when Hitler ordered a faked Polish attack (by German soldiers wearing Polish uniforms) on a German radio station on September 1, 1939 (although fighting had been going on for several years before that between Italy & Ethiopia and Japan & China). In "retaliation" for this faked attack, Hitler declared war on Poland and invaded.The war was ended by the first use of atomic bombs ever in combat when two bombs were dropped on Japanese cities: Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 & Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.

Was using nuclear weapons during World War 2 justified?
Yes, considering the Japanese Military Leaders would have fought until Japan no longer existed because to surrender was dishonorable and taboo and forbidden. Once the atomic bombs were dropped Emperor Hirohito realized he had to end the war to protect the throne and empire. The military leaders tried to stop him from surrendering. Had Hirohito not surrendered millions of Japanese, Russians, Americans and other allied forces would have died and the war would have gone on for at lease one more year. All the soldiers, Marines and Red Army soldiers are extremely grateful to the men who dropped the atomic bombs because they considered the bombs saved their lives (since they did not have to invade Japan). Some of the scientists who created the atomic bombs (and are still alive) are still receiving thanks for
More people were killed in air raids than by the two atomic bombs but it was the atomic bomb that was condemnedwhy do you think this is?
More people were killed in air raid because they were used more as the atomic was hard to make and cost more money so using more normal bombs more often would have been cheaper even thought the atomic bombs were a) more powerful, and, b) even thought they killed more people the air raids were more particle.
When did U.S. president Harry S. Truman make the decision of using atomic bombs?
Probably as soon as Stimson informed him that it was being worked on.
