Smoking Has Tendency
to Affect Your Spirits
People have their own reasons to smoke.
Some people smoke to relax and some to feel more alert when
they feel dull. Some take up smoking because they want to relax
their nerves when feel stressed, bored or to overcome their
anger. A cigarette becomes their doctor, their buddy, their
life. It all happens because of chemicals present in
cigarettes. These chemicals result in psychological effects
that they have on the nerves of a smoker.
The head of these chemicals is Nicotine. It works as
a stimulant. It has the same components and functions that
cocaine, amphetamine has. Smokers want to have a boost up
feeling when they feel depressed, irritated and frustrated. The
resistance to overcome all these feelings is provided by the
nicotine. It also increases their heart rate, blood pressure
and breathing rate due to which a smoker feels more alert than
before. It helps in his spontaneous but deceptive recovery.
After sometime a smoker finds himself at the same point with
more deteroiting health. Cigarette has products like
acetaldehyde and carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is harmful of
all the substances. It makes one feel dull as if someone has
locked you in the stuffy room. These chemicals have property of
reducing the tensions, anger and irritation. They hold these
feelings but not eliminate them. Something which is suppressed
comes out more strongly. This same case happens in
smoking.
People smoke, when taking coffee, consuming alcohol
and eating desserts. It becomes a comfortable habit for them
and they start taking it for granted. A smoker gets involved in
different fantasies as he feels that his stress is bothering
him less after a puff, he is able to concentrate
more.
Getting addicted
Initially a smoker smokes for false pleasure but
when he continues his habit, he does so out of his habit for
having nicotine. Until and unless he gets a dose of nicotine,
he can not work properly. He gets addicted to the deadly
drug.
Need to understand
Try to differentiate between feelings when you were
craving for the puff and when you have finished with your
cigarette. The come up differences will make you understand
your position that later will help you to quit the
smoking.
