Lets not forget about advertising or teens being easily mislead. And the fact that some mothers smoked 2 packs Winnie Reds per day during gestation.

Applicable once upon a time...but I would have thought not now ?

Advertising is almost non-existent, and education on why not to is all around us. Peer pressure is a cop-out to me...sorry.

My 20 something Son took up smoking a few Years ago and I had the same discussion with him...I cannot understand why.

I believe that nicotine plus the ritual of smoking or vaping, ticks a box for people with certain exacerbated mental health conditions.

Plenty of people around me smoke, from Chinese black market cigarettes through to chop-chop and legal roll-your-own. From a financial viewpoint, I wish everyone who wanted to stop, was able to.

So, what did your son say was the reason he took up smoking? You may not understand it, from your perspective, but that doesn't invalidate the reasons he took it up.

I think your answer is much closer than you think!

trend nowadays ...... seems to be 'vaping' . . . . essentially the same as smoking and most 'seem' to think it's better for you.

Have you seen the ridiculous way some of them vape? The trend was to draw in a massive amount of vapour and breath out this massive plume for ages. They're the ones getting lungs problems from it. If you vape like you would a normal cigarette, just puffing on it a bit, then without a doubt its much "better for you" than smoking. Yeah nicotine is carcinogenic and not particluarly good for you, but ther'e a lot of other bad stuff when you burn plant material and inhale the smoke. I always wanted to do this experiment, get 100 people to smoke 20 lawn clipping cigarettes everyday for 20 years, and see how they compare to cigarette smokers.

Question is "what chemicals do they mix in with the vapes?" in my opinion vapes and cigs are just as bad as each other.

A lot of us when growing up were addicted to nicotine before we even started smoking. Houses were full of smoke, the car was full of smoke (people didnt even wind the window down, dont know how we breathed), the pub was abolutely full of smoke, restuarants etc etc. I can remember being at the doctors as a kid, and the doctor had a smoke burning away in the ashtray. Probably about 1990s, it started to become polite to go outside for a smoke.

I gave up when I had a nasty chest infection - I had one and couldnt smoke for days, but of course started to force the occasional smoke into my painful, congested lungs when I started to get a bit better. So I kept reminding myself, next time I get a nasty chest infection and cant smoke, dont be an idiot. Took a few years before I got another nasty chest infection, so I had a lot of time to think about it, eventually it happened and it had to be done.
