People who smoke have a wide range of excuses to justify their addiction and enslavement to this habit.
Check out a few common reasons —
Smoking Calms Me Down — This is the most common excuse I have heard. Many people believe that smoking calms them down. On the contrary, Nicotine is a stimulant and it has a completely opposite effect. Some people feel calmed down by smoking because it helps them overcome the withdrawal symptoms of nicotine when they do not smoke. Many people smoke when they are depressed or tensed. Smoking creates an illusion of calming while it actually makes things worse.
I Really Enjoy Smoking — Some people claim that smoking gives them a ‘high’ or ‘kick’ and that’s what makes it an enjoyable activity. On the contrary, many people do not enjoy smoking at all when they smoke for the first time. A lot of people take up smoking as a sociable activity. They smoke after food or while standing around and talking or share it with friends. You tend to enjoy smoking as you would enjoy having coffee with your friends or colleagues. You enjoy the social activity and not smoking as such.
I Smoke When I Feel Bored — When people do not know how to kill leisure they either eat junk or smoke. Here again, you smoke to distract your mind from boredom or leisure. Well, you have plenty of options to kill time you can watch TV, call up a friend, surf the net, read a book or sleep. Why smoke?
I Smoke to Keep Weight Off — It is always noticed that chain smokers are often skinny. This encourages obese people to take up smoking to keep weight off. They religiously smoke a cigarette after each meal as if it would help it digest faster or prevent fat absorption in the body. When you smoke, nicotine will help you suppress your appetite for a short while, but when your hunger goes beyond control you will end up binging and eating twice than you should have eaten. So, on the contrary smoking helps you gain weight.
Wake up folks… Smoking is just an illusion. It fools you and silently destroys you.
