Question :

1. What are some reasons why people shouldn't smoke? What kind of sickness can you get? Why do people start smoking and can't stop?

Answer :

People should stop smoking because smoking can cause health problems, social problems and economic problems. It's already obvious that smoking can make people suffer some lethal diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). The effect of a smoking habit impairs our body especially our pulmonary system and blood stream. That 's because when people are smoking they inhale some chemical substances which are dangerous for our lungs. It can also worsen the inflammation of the airways in an asthma patient, damage our Alveoli, raises our blood pressure, accelerate the hardening and narrowing process in our arteries and so forth. It just doesn't stop there though, smoking has a potential role to cause social problems particularly between a smoker and non-smoker. Nowadays people are more aware about the effects of being a passive smoker which could be more dangerous than being an active smoker, hence some people become really sensitive and mind if there are any cigarettes lit up around them. Often times this issue can cause arguments and quarrels between them especially if the smoker is a careless person. Of course the unpleasant smell caused by smoking could be really be bothersome to some people. The economic problems could emerge when the smoker isn't able to afford his need to consume the cigarettes, therefor in order to fulfill their need they give up other assets in order to be financially able to buy cigarettes. I've met some people who even gave up their lunch money, and instead of buying a meal they use their lunch money for cigarettes. How stupid! .

Many people start smoking just to help their self looks 'cool', others because they feel stressed and in despair, and others don't even know their own reasons.Unfortunately those factors are also the reasons why they can't get rid this habit themselves. Nicotine is the substance in cigarette that makes them addictive, and when it enters the bloodstream it creates a stimulating effect in the brain. in other words, yes it can make people feel calm. So most people when they encounter stress and disappointment they end up lighting up their cigarette instead of facing and fixing their problem. Also the environment and their social life greatly influence their decision to keep smoking ot to stop. It's hard to give up smoking when we are being surrounded by our smoker buddies.
