The only happy smokers are the hobbits, and they use pipes.

Smoking usually starts socially. Then it becomes a coping mechanism. You're not wrong, some people go straight to it to cope but your post is straight up saying all smokers are plagued by problems and anxiety.

    what I'm saying is that there's no path of thought and desire that goes "oh man, I feel so good that I want to celebrate by smoking this thing", when you say that it starts socially, I wonder how much of the need one feels to smoke is derived from social pressure, anxiety at the thought of not fitting in, or fear of missing out, or simple boredom.
