>Let me make a meta-point. It's natural to find yourself with a thought of this form: I don't get why so many think ___ is cool. I don't get why so many think cigarettes are cool. You're telling me they know something I don't about cigarettes? |

* Cigarettes are stimulants and feel great when they first kick in, like a good cup of coffee.
* Smoking gives you a culturally-approved reason to take breaks throughout the day and go outside.
* Smoking is a social activity that provides an easy way to meet new people.
Of course, it is strongly chemically addictive too with serious negative health consequences, but the reason people smoke isn't only addiction or no one would ever start. I learned the above list by once genuinely asking someone why they smoke.
