Never Try
Smoking
A lot of
people, especially teenagers, who do not smoke, always want to try smoking.
They know it is bad for them and all, but it is just something they want to
try. So they ask one of their smoker friends for a cigarette. Admittedly, they
firstly can not light it on their own so they ask his friend to do it. Then
they inhale that cigarette and smoke occasionally.
Apparently
that makes them the born smokers. Now they do smoke fairly regularly. They can
not avoid smoking and they enjoy too. They have smoker friends. Everyday they
bring a pack in their pocket. For them, a pack of cigarette is as important as
a wallet for their money.
Suddenly, for
certain reason, they realize the fact that tobacco is the cause of a long list
of nasty diseases. It is not only heart disease, stroke, and chronic lung
disease but also bladder, lung, and pancreatic cancer. Even it was reported
that around 400,000 Americans died each year. It was one every 80 seconds from
tobacco-related illnesses.
Then they
decide it is stupid to harm selves. They want to quit smoking. Unfortunately,
they find that quitting smoking is so difficult. “Why can’t I stop smoking? I
really want to stop it”. It is hard to quit because nicotine is powerfully
addictive. Cigarette is one of the most efficient drug-delivery devices ever
devised. As result, when people try to quit smoking, they often experience classic
nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, headache,
depression, and restlessness.
Well, still
want to try smoke? Think the facts before trying! If you are not smoker, you
should never and never try to smoke.
