People that smoke cigarettes start doing it for many different reasons, but the one reason that most of them continue to do it is because they become hopelessly addicted. Any smoker you ask that has ever tried to quit will tell you that it was one of the hardest thing they ever attempted to do. It will affect you physically because your body is addicted to the nicotine. It affects you emotionally because it is a crutch that you have came to associate with certain activities and to rely on to help ease all kinds of stress.
Much of the emotional addiction is just habit alone. You reach for one when you have coffee in the morning. You want one almost immediately after a meal. You might want one each night right before you go to sleep. You automatically feel the urge to light one if you are going to be on the telephone for a few minutes. Whenever a problem of any kind arises, your first instinct is to light a cigarette. The feeling that it is helping you to cope with anything is just an illusion, it really does not help as all, it is just a habit, but try to tell that to someone who smokes.
It is amazing that people can be so informed about all of the dangers of smoking and still continue to do it. This only goes to further prove how bad the addiction can be. It is the same as with an addiction to any number of other drugs that people use. You use it a few times, there is something that the body likes in the way it makes you feel, and the next thing you know you are hooked. Of course, it is very possible to be able to stop smoking because many people have done it quite successfully. Then there are those that can never seem to stop. They might quit for a few months at a time and then one day the craving will hit them out of the blue and they will pick one up, never intending to become a regular smoker again, but many of them do so easily.
Why people smoke might be a question that no one will ever be able to answer fully. Why do people do many of the things that they do? There is one thing that has came along recently that at least gives a cigarette smoker an alternative choice to still be able to smoke, but a choice that limits many of the side affects that comes with burning tobacco. The electric cigarette is being tried by many smokers because the health issues related to using this product seem to be much less harmful. Although studies are still being conducted, the majority of these studies are showing that by not receiving any tar and the thousands of other chemicals that are in tobacco cigarettes, the health issues are reduced significantly.
