Temple University JPRA major Moira Cochran, 21, has been 'addicted to smoking" since she was 16 years old. Calling it "a love/hate relationship," Cochran jokingly puts four cigarettes in her mouth to satisfy the craving and calm her nerves. She readily admits peer pressure caused her to pick up the habit. And the reason she hasn't kicked it? "I continue to smoke because I am addicted," Cochran said. Heather Duffy

Josh Holiday, 24, DJ/Promoter from Philadelphia smokes because everyone smokes at the clubs he promotes and spins at. He continues because it is "a hard habit to break when you're surrounded by people smoking all the time." Scott Heard
