I can make of either a life work. The only safer cigarette is your last one. I tried to stop smoking cigarettes by telling myself I just didn't want to smoke, but I didn't believe myself. So smoking is the perfect way to commit suicide without actually dying.

Most people start smoking when they are in their teens. They might start because of peer pressure from their friends, because their parents smoke, or simply because they are teenagers and they want to push the boundaries and take risks.

Some people might smoke because it feels like it helps them cope with negative feelings and emotions, leaving them with a heightened sense of wellbeing. Some people with mental health problems, such as depression or anxiety, might smoke because it helps to alleviate some of the symptoms they experience.

Smoking can become ingrained in a person’s life. It might be a reward after cleaning the house, or someone might automatically have a cigarette with their coffee in the morning. It’s there with them every day, and has become part of the routine.
