Why the subject about smoking is so popular?

I wonder why the subjects around cigarette and smoking are so popular in this forum (and probably other forums)?

And what i don't understand is that people who are posting about smoking are not concerned by cigarettes: they don't smoke at all and probably never smoked. I don't get it!

What do you think?

i think this is common issue more of the majority are smoking cigarettes they know that is injurious to health but it wont stopped so that's why that is main problem

Because we keep on insisting that cigarette smoking is really dangerous to health. I hope participating in this kind of discussion somehow helps in campaign against smoking. Although I'm glad that most of the forum members are non smokers.

Actually most of the people in this world are related with this word smoking.they know it's harmful,but they are connected.

I think it's just a reminder for those people who really smoke. People are just concern that's why even they didn't smoke they still try to post things about bad effect of this. It's always good to prevent a thing before you feel sorry about the result. Anyways, I wished people learn how smoking is really bad for their health.

People that have quit smoking, or still smoke, have fond memories and associations attached with cigarettes and can't help it. People that have never smoked but are critical, have absolutely no understanding of the desire to smoke, and for some reason feel that they are somehow qualified to preach constantly about something they don't know anything about. Everyone else just enjoys talking about something with an edge. Remember that Lauren Hill song, "That Thing." It's just edge, danger. People are drawn to it like a moth to a flame. No pun intended.

maybe there so many smokers in the world and one of the most commonly reason of people dying is smoking...and here in the philippines cigars are so cheap and any one can buy it...even kids can

I don't really know why it's so popular. I don't like smoking personaly and also hate discussing about smoking but i couldn't understand why others like it

because most of the people in the forum do like to smoke but still want to quite smoking so its hard they need ideas but the smoke is buring all ideas
