Causes of Smoking
Learn about the leading causes of smoking
People begin smoking for a variety of reasons.
In many cases, a person may start smoking socially or as a one-time occurrence, but due to the highly addictive nature of nicotine, they find it difficult to limit their use.
When the frequency of smoking increases, the body craves nicotine more regularly, often resulting in a steady rise in the number of cigarettes smoked daily.
