Looking cool. For real though smoking (anything) has to be the dumbest thing ever when you stop and think what your lungs are, everything they do for you and how you "repay" them for their kindness of being able to sit there reading this whilst breathing.
On a larger scope, from a Chinese medicine point of view it pushes bioenergy downwards which helps keep things under the surface - see stressful situations and relapsed smokers.
Psychologically it can relate to issues of childhood security that haven't been addressed and things like suppressing appetites.
Random fact, did you know that the cigarette industry is the second largest user of sugar behind the processed food industry? Its also one of the few things you can buy to consume that doesn't have an ingredients list on because if people saw things like Arsenic, Ammonia, Formaldehyde, Methylamine, Acetone etc.. it may just make them think twice about lighting up.

The smell of cigarettes was always enough to make me never want to smoke.
Most smokers I know do it to relieve stress.
I always figured it was that or the buzz you get, kinda like you do from coffee/caffeine.

None. I'm a respiratory therapist and see the aftermath of people smoking cigarettes.

It is relaxing.
You know there is a drug in cigarettes and e-cigs called nicotine right??
Nicotine is used as a recreational drug.[49] It is widely used because it is highly addictive and hard to discontinue using it.[50] Nicotine is often used compulsively,[51] and dependence can develop within days.[51][52] Recreational drug users commonly use nicotine for its mood-altering effects.[23] Other recreational nicotine products include chewing tobacco,[citation needed] cigars,[53]cigarettes,[53] e-cigarettes,[54] snuff,[citation needed]pipe tobacco,[53] and snus.[citation needed]

Anyone from the 70s and 80s remember how many people smoked. Ash trays in cars, smoke filled restaurants. No it's just a small group of people huddle outside.
