Smoking


In the world there are many problems that are happening. Problems are happening in the societies affecting the people. Governments and authorities know about the problems that are happening in their own societies. Sometimes governments know what are the wrong things that are done by people in the society but they don’t do anything if they see they don’t need to take any action. Smoking is considered as a problem in many societies and it has the ability to cause many effects to people’s health and life.  (Culture, in many cases had already assimilated it into the native, both product, plant, and markets)

One of these problems it can be seen that is happening in many societies is smoking. Smoking began a long time ago which was during 5000Bc in shamanistic rituals. People not only smoke cigarettes they smoke different things like pipes and shisha.  In these days people are smoking for different reasons. The two types of people who are smoking are adults and teenagers. Adults usually are smoking because they have a lot of stress and are facing many problems which are financial, economic, unemployment and personal problems which are related to their marriage and other relationships. ("Why People Smoke." Health & Literacy Special Collection.  2013)

Usually, the general reasons that make the teenagers start smoking are they see it as a new thing to them so they feel very excited to try or they want to be like their friends and want to feel that they are welcome in their peer group at the same time. Also, teenagers in their homes when they watch adults who are their parents and other relatives smoking they think that smoking will make them mature. However, not all people are smoking because they have problems in their life or get affected by their friends. They believe that smoking makes them feel good. Others who are facing problems in their life think that smoking will make them relaxed and those who are working very hard think that if they smoke they will have more energy. (Cunningham, Matt. "Discovery Health "10 Reasons People Start Smoking"2013)

People who are not smokers must avoid smokers because it is dangerous for their health and they may get affected even if they don’t smoke. They may get affected because while they are sitting with smokers they will breathe the smoke that is coming out from the cigarettes which will have an effect on their health. Smoking is dangerous because it’s considered the main cause of lung cancer, diseases of the heart and respiratory system and it causes a premature death. In the United States there are more than 2.4 million deaths each year and 440,000 of these people died because of smoking. It is not necessary that all people will die because of smoking; there might be other reasons. ("Smoking & Cardiovascular Disease (Heart Disease).)

Smokers are facing health problems caused by smoking.These problems they are facing are related to their health. It lets the people feel that they are not able do many things. One of the things that people feel they are not able to do because of smoking is exercising. Each cigarette that people smoke includes many chemicals. Chemicals include many elements which have a serious effect on people’s bodies and health. There are two of these elements. They are called nicotine and tar. Nicotine is a drug that has the ability to affect the brain and other activities related to the muscles. It does not only affect brain and muscle. It has the ability to raise blood pressure and the heart. However, tar causes to have difficulty to breathe and it contains other chemicals that lead to cancer.

Many people in the world want to avoid smoking. In the beginning as it is known people will face many difficulties to quit smoking. There are useful ways that if smokers do they will be able to get rid of smoking. Usually, people put off many things to smoke a cigarette. In this way they can delay smoking and be busy in doing other things until they get used to it. Another way it may be useful to quit smoking is putting a schedule to do activities or prepare a list to do things when they think to smoke. For example, they can visit their friends, drink tea and take a nap. These are the ways that if people apply it will help them to quit smoking and there are many other ways but it depends on people, which way they like or think it’s more useful for them.("Quitting smoking: 10 ways to ride out tobacco cravings”  2013.)
