It is proven that smoking can lead to cancer. If you smoke then you will also loose appetite. But still people smoke. Do you know why?? If you smoke then what is the reason behind it??I am also a smoker. I know that it is not good for my health. But still I smoke. I think smoking releases my mental pressure. When I am very tired then it relaxes my body. When I am tensed then it help me release my tension.
What is your reason. Do you think the same way I think???

I smoke because I'm addicted...however NOT so much to the nicotine as one may think but more to the action and association...I wake up - I smoke, I have a coffee - I smoke, I'm stressed - I smoke alot, after I eat - I smoke, I drink - I smoke and the list goes on....
I suppose if I'd only been smoking for a few yrs then maybe I'd consider quitting and it'd probably be much easier for me to do so but I've been smoking since I was 8 yrs old (I'll be 39 this yr) so quitting wouldnt be fun...and to be honest with you, I really ahve no desire to at this point in time....Maybe some day but not today ya know.

Do you have trouble quitting smoking?
If so I could refer you to a site that I work as a sales rep and they sell a product that still gives you the nicotine but cuts out all the crap that gives you cancer and such, such as tar and a bunch of other chemicals.
If you want, I will refer you there and you can even join and earn being a sales rep also.
Let me know.

Basically what I feel is that the person who smokes or dirnks a lot, gets used to it and it becomes part of his /her routine. Every one knows that smoking is bad for health but still people don't care about it and goes on smoking. The result are far away and human tendency is to just think of present and near future and that's the reason we ignore the harmful effects of smoking or other addictions which is injurious to our health. I agree that smoking makes the people feel calm from the tenstions. I would just like to counter question on this, Do smoking clear your tensions or it just keeps you clam for 5 minutes till the time you are smoking. Because tension is still there , it is not going to go with smoke, unless we do something to get rid out of it. So my dear friends, only thing I would like to suggest to all that , try to quit this habbit ASAP, so that you may not face any issues in future for yourself as well as for your dear one.
