Smoking is an activity which has proven to be deadly and even manufacturers and distributors of tobacco products are required to inform people of the negative impact of smoking. Continuous smoking for up to 20 years has proven to be one of the main causes of lung cancer. But cancer is just one side effect and there are way too many to mention. It’s an addictive, unhealthy and costly habit and almost every long term smoker wishes they could stop easily. Smoking is credited with causing stomach problems to chronic bronchitis, so why would anyone want to continue?
There are several reasons a person chooses to continue smoking. From the temporary rush it provides from the nicotine to the relaxed feeling it provides afterwards. To smokers, it is a form of stress relief and to many smokers it’s almost an impulse to light up a cigarette during stressful times. Many people who smoke start at a young age due to peer pressure or to fit into a group. Some will quit and others will continue into adulthood. Many try to kick the habit by stopping cold turkey or taking medication to stop, which proves to be a temporary solution. The fear of gaining weight and eating in an unhealthy manor since food tastes a lot different for non smokers is another issue.
