I like smoking. It brings me pleasure, so I do it. I have quit numerous times, the last time I went over 2 years without smoking a single cigarette. When I don't want to smoke, I don't. It is hard to quit and you have to put in some effort, but if you don't want to smoke it is easier than continuing to smoke imo.
So I guess the answer would be because I like it. I respect the fact that you guys don't like it, that is totally up to you. There are a lot of people who do unhealthy things because they enjoy them, fast food is a perfect example. The only difference is that for some reason we've deemed it socially acceptable for non-smokers to preach their personal thoughts on smoking to smokers. While the obese non-smoker eating his triple lard burger may currently have the moral high ground, I take solace in knowing heart disease is still the #1 killer in the united states by quite a large margin.
