Most bad things are people, in my experience.

Smoking is bad for us yet millions of people smoke, so why are they so attracted to it? In my opinion it's because they are addicted to it, however or why ever we started to smoke it results in our addiction, I am an exsmoker. Other things such as alchohol, gambling and drugs are all addictive in my opinion, and in the long term can be bad for us. Here in the UK, tobacco, alchohol and gambling are very much promoted in the media, particularly on TV, in the form of advertisements, perhaps this is the reason we are attracted in the first place to these things which can result in being very bad for us if taken to excess or if we become addicted, this is just my opinion. Here in Canada cigarette ads are banned on TV ,and there are many public service messages On TV about the harm that smoking and alcohol can have. If these messages do any good or not ,I have no idea, but at least our Government is trying to educate people . There are restrictions on advertising tobacco and alcohol here in the UK as well, with frequent government notices on TV and elsewhere on the dangers of tobacco and tobacco price has risen sharply in the past few years.So efforts are being made by the government here as well. The latest trend seems to be Electronic cigarettes, for those trying to stop smoking I guess they help, but the jury seems to be out on how harmless or otherwise they might be in the long term and some argue they introduce children to wanting to smoke.

People are going to do what they want to do, whether its bad or good. Really sad though when you see young kids puffing away. Breaks my heart.

For myself it has been not so much being attracted to bad things its that I perceived that they were good.In life you can't tell whats in the package until you take the wrapping off.Sometimes it good, sometimes its bad.

Sometimes people do bad things for reasons that are not evident. Smoking is a good example of it. If you are a starving teenager working in a resturant slinging food to customers until you are so stressed your dead on your feet having a smoke break out back with your buddy the cook (who has the power to make or break your tips with how they set your plates up) makes sense. First it kills your appetite and second at least as long as you have some smoke left used to be people would leave you that few minutes for a break. Is it great later when you want to have a kid? No not so much. Worse later because you definitely crave smokes even if you kick the habit.
