Ok, totally non-judgmental question. What is it like to be addicted to cigarettes? I have never even tried it although when my brother smokes and comes back in the house I can literally taste it. It makes me want to vomit. I can't understand enjoying it at all.
Alright, most women like to shop, right? Imagine the feeling of wanting to go shopping one day x 1,000,000,000. Especially if one hasn't had one for a fair bit. I personally get the shakes, can't think straight, get a queasy stomach, and get very irritable. It's a horrible feeling, and I wish I never started. However, you asked for an honest answer. There you have it.
Also, nobody really LIKES the flavor of inhaling a smoke, I don't think. They may like the additive flavors somewhat, but not the orininal, let's say full flavor Marlboro. It's not really an aquired taste. It's basically the same thing as why some shoot whiskey. They don't particularly care for the straight whiskey. They just like the after effects.
