If you are a smoker you have probably asked your self a t least a hundred times why you do it. Cigarettes and cigars do not taste good by any means and they make your mouth taste like crap. Cigars and cigarettes make breath, hair, hands, and clothes stink to high heaven. If you smoke in your home and car, they will stink too. Except for the smokers that choose to remain in denial, everyone knows that smoking will eventually kill you because of one related disease or another. Cigarettes and cigars have gone up to ridiculous prices in recent years, but smokers keep on buying them anyway.

People who do not smoke just do not understand what the attraction could possibly be, but really smokers can not tell you for sure either. All they know is they probably started because someone else around them smoked , so they tried it too and that was the beginning of a deadly habit that is one of the most difficult to break. Nicotine is called a drug by most people or at least it has been accepted as such because of the addictive qualities it has.

The brain actually does begin to need the stimulation that smoking provides after a while. When a smoker suddenly stops smoking, the brain will react. Smokers who do not get their tobacco fix are similar to a person addicted to many other drugs. They get irritable, anxious, shaky, and almost desperate to find a smoke. This is why it is so hard to stop.

More smokers are trying to their best to stop this unseemly habit because they are finally getting the message about how bad it actually is for their health. It has also become very socially taboo. It used to be perfectly fine to smoke cigarettes in public places, these days smokers can not even light up in most bars or restaurants or any public building. It might have slowed some of them down a bit, but many just find ways to work around the restrictions. On the flip side, the recent prohibition of smoking in public places around others has been prompting enough to make a lot of people try to quit because they are tired of having to make special trips outside or to a designated area to smoke. It has just become too inconvenient for those who really wanted to quit anyway.

Some smokers are entirely outraged by the fact that they can no longer smoke where ever they like. This might be because when you are dumb enough to smoke in the first place, you probably are not smart enough to realize that just because you choose to slowly kill your self, it does not give you the right to try and take other people with you.
