| It has been seen these days that the people are getting more and more into the habit of smoking. Not only men, but women are also being seen as a majority of chain smokers these days. The people generally start smoking at the young age especially during their teen age or the days of college life. It is at this age that the person feels like doing something different or sees his friends and nearby people smoking which make them try it once. This one try of having and tasting the cigarette smoke and knowing how it feels proves to be very harmful for such people because it is at this time that the person then starts developing a strong crave for the cigarette and slowly and gradually doesn't even realize that he has become addicted to it. Smoking is very much injurious to the health of a person. It is considered to be so harmful that it can lead to many problems related to health. The common problems that have been seen with people are the breathing and respiratory problems. When a person smokes, the lungs get affected to a large extent. This is the main cause of the breathing problems. The respiratory pipe of the body is also affected as the smoke passes through it. Then another thing to notice here is that the crave in the people to smoke a cigarette every day or even many cigarettes per day arises only due to the addiction of the nicotine present in the cigarette. Hence it is not the cigarette that is addictive but it is the effect of the nicotine that leads to this bad addiction. Nicotine when goes into the body of the person is not at all good. As soon as some quantity of nicotine enters the human body it first directly goes to the brain and the blood and then mixes there quickly. After this there are some nerves of the central nervous system of our body that get triggered due to this act. As soon as the trigger of the nerves happens, the brain generates certain signals due to which the person starts feeling in a relaxed mood and feels satisfied. This is the reason why people like to smoke after every interval of time as per their level of craves. This crave should hence be controlled. It is seen that in prolonged smoking of the cigarette in a long term it can sometimes be converted into having a very common deadly disease which is cancer. This might even take away the life of a person. Hence such are the various disadvantages and health problems that can definitely arise by smoking of the cigarette. It is therefore very rightly said that it should be banned to smoke cigarette but it has not yet been possible. But what we can do is try helping the chain smokers quit smoking so that they can lead a healthy life free of any kind of such above mentioned health problems. |
