Is stress one of the main factor for people to start smoking? if yes, why?

Answer:
NO, the main factor of why people start smoking is from wanting to be cool in high school and not knowing any better. As they grow older they are too addicted to stop and use stress as an excuse.

Not usually. Stress can make someone RETURN to smoking, who had given it up repeatedly. But if you didn't smoke before, you're no more likely to start when stressed than you are to do any other maladjusted coping thing.

No, stress doesn't cause people to start smoking. Usually people start smoking at an early age (in their teens) and it is started by a number of things. Usually it's peer pressure in school, but there was a study done once that children who grow up in households with smokers are twice as likely to start smoking. Stress is a reason why people re-start smoking after they have quit
