From diseases caused by smoking, 1.5 million people die every year. It is known that smoke contains more than 30 substances poisonous to the body, and the amount of funds spent on the purchase of tobacco products reaches 85 billion dollars a year. But this does not bother heavy smokers and those who are just beginning to get used to cigarettes.
Instructions
Step 1
Most people are fed this addiction during childhood and adolescence. It is during this period that the opinion about the harm of smoking is formed and strengthened. A middle-aged person is less likely to start smoking than a teenager who does not have a negative attitude towards cigarettes.
Step 2
Teenagers strive to be adults. Therefore, they copy everything their parents do. The mother has a particular influence on the views of the child. In addition, in the school environment, smoking is associated with prestige. When a teenager starts smoking, he has an illusion of importance, he feels more confident in the company of peers, etc. Moreover, the first cigarettes are smoked, as a rule, through force. The body does not want to take them, but then it gradually gets used to the regular supply of nicotine. This is how addiction appears.
Step 3
Until recently, smoking was considered a male habit, but today you can see a girl with a cigarette almost more often than young people. The reason lies in the desire of women to keep up with the stronger sex. Half a century ago, cigarettes became a symbol of equality. Now the girl can think that she is "going to smoke." It turns into a ritual: opening a pack, pulling out a thin cigarette with your fingers with a neat manicure, using a beautiful lighter, exhaling smoke through a ring of seductively folded painted lips. It was considered fashionable, but fashion changes, but habits remain.
Step 4
Even realizing the harm caused by smoking, people do not get rid of the acquired habit. Why is this happening? The fact is that the addiction that appears in the process of smoking is more psychological. For a smoker, a cigarette becomes a way to overcome their insecurity, while away the time, calm down, and relax. However, all this is only a temporary illusion, and after a few minutes the received nicotine will begin to be excreted from the body and the desire to smoke will appear again.
