Evie, Jake was seen smoking long before the filming of An Enemy. I think he smokes because he likes it.

Some people who smoke say they love doing it and won't give it up. Other smokers want to quit and find that it's extremely hard to do that, especially if they've smoked for a long time. I have a friend who struggled with her habit for years, trying repeatedly to stop and failing. Finally, she succeeded, and is so happy to be free of her nicotine addiction. A few years ago, I read an article in the NY Times in which researchers claimed that quitting nicotine/tobacco is even harder than kicking heroin. Smoking has absolutely nothing to recommend it except that, temporarily, it helps to relieve stress.
Now that you mention it, Jake smoked in that video last year, the one where he played the killer, before An Enemy. I think he may be hanging out with more people who smoke and drink a lot, and you know that it's so easy to do what everyone else is doing, so that you fit in with their vibe. Jake is doing such a dumb thing to start (or resume) smoking as an adult--usually people who don't acquire the habit in adolescence tend not to do so as adults. I'm sure the day will come when Jake wants to stop. I only hope he can.

Evie, I wish he would quit smoking too. It's such a bad habit. It just doesn't make sense to me that he smokes, considering healthy eating and exercise is such a big part of his life. I can only hope he gives it up again. I'm not sure why he started again, maybe it had to do with his high profile breakups. Or like monica said, maybe he just likes it. Who knows?

Yes, Marie, I think his breakups are part of the stress. I believe there are other factors too: career issues, his parents' divorce, absence of once-close friends. I doubt very much that Jake actually likes smoking; for whatever reason(s), he's caught in the net and is choosing not to try to get out.

Well, It is sad to see him smoke and there are lots of reason why ppl keep doing it. Hopeful he will stop one day. Hubby did because of our daughter asking him to stop. Maybe his nieces will get him too.
