theres a time and a place for everything, its called college!
as for why? -note i will try to make this my last post- 
i think there are a lot of reasons that people start smoking, or doing drugs. i dont think there is a simple answer. one reason is access - over the counter meds, cigarettes, your parents booze, MJ cause it doesnt have an age limit - the list goes on.
drugs, in certain circumstances, do come off as cool to younger people. this may be wrong to believe, but it goes along with all the negative advice that everyone gives. if your parents, school teachers, health officials, etc always told you that origami was bad for you and you absolutely could not fold paper like that the curious individual would want to see what the big fuss is about. the same thing is true with drugs.
people that use them KNOW they are good for you - which is why those cig lawsuits are crap...you are BREATHING FIRE, of course its bad for you.
drugs arent all the same, as many here have said. some are actually safe -as far as drugs go- cannabis is an example. some legal drugs like nicotine are as addictive as heroin.
as far as my own interest is concerned, yah ive used 'drugs' yah i know they are bad for me. do i regret it? no.
i used to think that people were 'bad' who smoked cigarettes, and did all those nasty things when i was a teen. and guess what? my friends drifted away...not necessarily because of drugs, just from association - we didnt have so much in common. when i finally came to my senses and realized that people who smoke werent bad or evil, i started to look beyond the drugs and at the person. and i made friends.
now im not saying that you should do drugs to make friends. and i dont equate one action with the other necessarily. but when you are open, and accepting of what others do to themselves, its easier to look beyond superficial crap like that.
everything we do has a potential health risk - and anyone that thinks TVs, air pollution, automobiles, fast food and all that shit ISNT as threatening as drugs needs to come to their senses. why are so many people getting cancer? why are some countries dealing with pathogenic epidemics?
the world is PHUCKED up, but its not because of drugs...
plus, if you are so anti drug, avoid music because most people in the industry are 'bad people' if drug use makes you bad|

you dont know me and shouldnt infer things from posts like that, cause thats one of the problems everyone is having here - making assumptions about how we all live our lives|
I wanted to know what causes people to start smoking cigs, or taking any other possibly/probably addictive drugs(note I'm not saying its necessarily a bad thing, just looking for the reasoning.)
