Because lying to people doesn’t make them want to avoid smoking. The best antidote is telling them the whole truth, “good” and bad.
The DARE program didn’t work.
Comment on What does cigarette smoking do for people?

I don’t get why there are so many pro-nicotine people here. I guess they have to defend their addiction?
If you try nicotine for the first time, you will feel dizzy and sick. But you will start to crave more nicotine. When you redeem that craving you will feel “good”. But that “good” is actually just feeling normal. Think of it as if you put on too tight shoes, walked around with them, and then took them of again for a little while and then put them back on.
I smoked and used other nicotine products for 10 years, but after learning the truth about nicotine it was easy to quit. It’s a very pointless drug but also very lucrative for those selling it…

I didn't see much in the way of pro-nicotine comments. People just answered the question about what they got out of it. Most also said it was a terrible habit.
Your experience with it being easy to quit doesn't seem to be typical, but it was great that it worked out that way.
