A cigarette can never relieve the stress or depression, it is just a fake assumption.
3. Surroundings: you may work guy or a homely guy. If your family members smoke, you may also get the habit from them, you may also inspire your friends, colleagues, and roommates. The working atmosphere and social gathering may influence to consume cigarette on regular basis or occasionally. People take smoking as social resemblance or a part of social get-together. If you are engaged in long discussion, smoking is taken as the common activity.
4. Copying other or Role model: If Akshay Kumar is my favorite hero, I would copy his style and will follow him. Likewise, almost people have their own role models to whom they try to copy.

5. Pressure or Force: Some are forced to smoke. Live examples can be found in working life. Jobless people have to start smoking if their employers put such conditions. Many people start smoking in the pressure of fear, lack of finance, or sudden circumstances.
6. Smoking is taken as a measure of Weight Control: Youngsters or adults are more into smoking as they feel it as the effective measure of reducing or controlling weight (although it is a rumor). In fact, Smoking reduces the hunger sense which ultimately leads to less consumption of the meal and less appetite.
7. A part of Fun and Adventure: Children or youngster take it as a challenge. They smoke as a part of fun, adventure, experiment, and entertainment. They are not aware of the consequences and no one is there to stop them as they smoke without telling or showing others. They just want to kill boredom.
8. Relaxing factor: While smoking you exhales and inhales a part of air with long breath which delivers you a sense of deep relaxation. If they are annoyed with the employers, suffering from the family or financial problems, prisoner of physical abuse, they feel a sense of pleasure while smoking.
9. To look Impressive: It is their assumptions that smoking personality is bindass, impressive, mature and stunning. To be the cool guy is not possible through cigarette; it is our mind only which influences us to smoke more.
