Why Do People Smoke Cigarettes?
 |
Obviously,
smoking cigarettes is dangerous to your
health. According to various
studies on the effects of cigarette
smoking, it is responsible for one out
of every five deaths in the U.S. and is
the most addictive and destructive
over-the-counter drug known to man.
With all
these known facts on the effects of
cigarette smoking one may wonder why
people still smoke cigarettes. |
The history and
culture surrounding cigarette smoking dates back
to before World War I. During this time
tobacco was smoked mostly in the form of cigars
and primarily by the wealthy. Cigarettes, which
are basically leftovers of the cigar making
process, were smoked by the less fortunate. The
number of people who smoked cigarettes boomed
when the tobacco companies started to
mass-produce cigarettes. Their cigarette
smoking clientele: soldiers of World War I.
While inhaling smoke into your lungs is
obviously unhealthy, it took some time before
the true effects of smoking cigarettes became
well known. It wasn’t for another 20 to 30
years after WWI that doctors first noticed the
increase in lung cancer. With this increase,
Reader's Digest published an article "Cancer by
the Carton,” which prompted the public to be
aware of the effects of cigarette smoking. Since
then, extensive medical studies have now proven
the correlation between cigarette smoking and
lung cancer.
Nicotine, the most common ingredient in
cigarettes, is more addictive than heroine and
doctors rank nicotine ahead of alcohol and
cocaine in terms of dependence. Nicotine
triggers the smoker's brain to be more efficient
in processing information. Furthermore, nicotine
also reduces anxiety and induces euphoria.
Researches have also shown that nicotine
stimulates alertness and arousal, and sedation
and relaxation based on the dose of nicotine
intake. These effects of nicotine, though, do
not outweigh the harmful effect of nicotine
addiction, which is lung cancer, and possibly
other ailments, which will all eventually lead
to death.
Aside from
nicotine, many smokers are not aware of the fact
that a cigarette contains acetylene (fuel used
in welding), cyanide, nitrogen oxide, and carbon
monoxide, all of which are harmful chemicals.
These chemicals are also used as poison.
What adds to the addiction to smoke cigarettes
is the psychological pleasure or satisfaction a
smoker gains when smoking a cigarette. The
psychosocial factors also contribute to why
people continue to smoke cigarettes. People
surrounded by other people who smoke cigarettes
will find it more difficult to stop smoking.
Regardless of the many facts and figures related
to the dangers of smoking cigarettes, the
percentage of people smoking cigarettes has not
experienced any considerable decrease. In fact,
cigarette smoking continues to increase
throughout the world. The World Health
Organization has estimated that by year 2020,
tobacco will kill more people than any single
disease in the world.
For some reason, educating people about the
effects of smoking cigarettes doesn't seem to
strike any sense into smokers. For some smokers,
thinking that smoking is directly related to
lung cancer and eventually death is a myth yet
to be proven.
But whatever the reason smokers have, the facts
speak for themselves. Making smoking cigarettes
a habit will, sooner or later, lead to death.
