Because smoking feels good. Smoking relieves stress. Smoking gets you
high. Smoking improves digestion. Smoking suppresses appetite. Smoking
looks cool. Smoking gives you something to do. Smoking is addictive so
that even if you want to quit, it's very very difficult. These are all
reasons why people smoke. I'm sure there are many others too.

I'm not going to pretend that everything about smoking is utterly
evil. Occasionally, I like smoking. Smoking has enhanced my life. But
lets call a spade a spade. It's toxic pollution, and should be treated
as such.
