I honestly don't understand why people smoke this stuff. cigarretes & vapes smell horrible, there's not even that many things to compare it to but its like car exhaust but worse. & I just can't get why people smoke things like marijuana. Exactly what's the point? Doesn't it basically turn you into a zombie temprorarily or something like that?

    They mess with your feelings and/or perceptions, to pretty much cover all the bases. Generally, people try them because of peer pressure or curiosity about a potentially interesting experience, and keep using them because they enjoy the experience. Or because of more peer pressure and addiction, in some cases.

    Tbh I think I can understand why people do it. For some using various substances are a quick and simple way to relax/numb unwanted emotions/etc.. Some start because of peer pressure. For others it's just learned behaviour (you're more likely to become a smoker if your parents are).

    Personally, I've never as much as tried cigarettes because it just never appealed to me and I had mostly non-smoking friends and family. But I definitely have other bad habits I shouldn't have gotten into and have trouble getting rid of, so I get the feeling.
