You are absolutely right about a million reasons not to smoke! While some of the things you listed might be more related to how you feel about yourself, and not how people feel about you ("Maybe people won't hate me so much"), because honestly I don't think anyone hated me for being a smoker when I was one, even if this is not a reason, there are still a million other reasons not to smoke.
