not a smoker, but asked a lot of smokers on why they smoke.

reasons:

1). exclusive social 'networks' - see smokers gathered during 'smoking breaks'

2). looks cool

seriously, someone should make a e-cigarette that looks exactly like a cigar...

ps: as for all those non-smokers, pretend to cough when someone is smoking on public space. tell them it looks shit when someone smokes.
