6) Never
7) No
8) Grandfather got addicted at 12 (60+ years ago), be included/ fit in

3) Female
4) No
5) N/A
6) No
7) No
8) I don't, but I heard it has something to do with needing something to hold in your hand, and for the weight reason of not gaining weight
9) They should be banned, because even though it is your choice to smoke, other people around you are feeling the effects to. When to get into the mall, or the restaurant, you have to walk by 5 smokers outside, your health is affected too. Unless they have a solution to that problem, where other people don't breathe it in too, then it should just be banned.</p>

<p>3) Gender
Female</p>

Not cigarettes; occasionally hookah.</p>

<p>8) Why do you (or someone else you know) smoke?
My grandparents on my mom's side smoked because they didn't know better. I never met my grandfather because he died of lung cancer when he was 59. My grandmother was 75 when she died last year, but she would've lived longer if she hadn't smoked.</p>

<p>9) Should cigarettes be continued to be made? or should they be banned?
I'd rather they weren't made, but it's not my decision to make.</p>

5) If so, how long have you been smoking?
6) If you are under the age of 18, do you plan to smoke?
7) Do you live with someone who is a smoker (parents, siblings, etc.)? No

<p>1) 17
2) Senior
3) Male
4) On occasion
5) About a year now
6) N/A
7) My twin brother (non-identical) also smokes on occasion
8) Because it is relaxing and fun to do from time to time
9) I think that methanol (sp) cigarettes should be banned. my grandma had has a lung removed from the lung cancer that was caused by these unmerciful cigarettes.</p>

<p>1) 20</p>

<p>2) College Sophmore</p>

<p>3) Male</p>

<p>4) Hookah every now and again...used to smoke cigarettes in highschool, quit my senior year</p>

<p>5) Hookah, about a year...Cigarettes....smoked them for a year, quit for a year, smoked them for another year, now I refuse to smoke them ever again</p>

<p>6) N/A</p>

<p>7) Yep</p>

<p>8) I think most people start out of either curiosity or to keep up appearances....eventually ppl learn the negatives, but can't quit, because of cravings...there're plenty of people that'd like to quit smoking, but cravings kill...probably some of the worst longings you could have after doing it for so long...I think it's more of a Pavlovian as well as an operant process...no physical addiction....you become accustomed to the nicotine stimulation at certain times of day, after eating, etc. and begin to associate such times with smoking...taking it away is just akward for you...furthermore..the tiny burts of dopamine are little rewards for smoking, so you're basically conditioned to want it...you want to reward yourself, and it hurts not to.....so i think your question should be rephrased to ask "do you smoke for personal reasons, or because you can't quit?...if for personal reasons, why?" or "why did you start smoking?" rather than "why do you smoke?"</p>

<p>9) I'd prefer that they be banned, but it'd probably terribly harsh on the economy....furthermore it's individual choice....but then again, I could use that same argument to justify legalizing marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc...so I guess...all in all.....personally I think they should be banned....rationally, it'd probably cause more harm economically..</p>

<p>and it's menthol :p</p>

<p>1) Age - 17</p>

<p>2) Grade - 12</p>

<p>3) Gender - f</p>

<p>4) Do you smoke? - no</p>

<p>5) If so, how long have you been smoking? --</p>

<p>6) If you are under the age of 18, do you plan to smoke? - maybe (i have done so once but i didnt really like it)</p>

<p>7) Do you live with someone who is a smoker (parents, siblings, etc.)? - yes, parent</p>

<p>8) Why do you (or someone else you know) smoke? - addiction</p>

<p>9) Should cigarettes be continued to be made? or should they be banned? - I would like them to be banned. But the economy will become troubled, and addicted people will go crazy..</p>

4) Nope
5) N/A
6) N/A
7) No
8) I have a lot of friends who smoke, I guess because they can and because they like it. Perhaps because it is considered cool and a lot of people do it.
9) Yeah, like you could really get cigarettes banned. That's just ridiculous. If people want to do it let them, they know what they are getting into. They are adults and don't need anyone telling them what is good and bad.</p>

<li><p>I don't know, maybe because of addiction? Or because
those who are under 18 feel like they are grown up?</p></li>
<li><p>Well i think that nobody can ban them, i'm just guessing
that maybe 40-50% of the people in the world smoke, and
most of them are adults, so they can decide by them selves
wether they will smoke or not.</p></li>
