Do you think of your smoking habit as a loaded gun? The reason some of you might think this way is because a leaded gun is set to kill and so are cigarettes. They will not kill you as quickly, but in the end they can. A gun will only take one bullet while cigarettes can take years. You would never point a gun to your own head, but smoking cigarettes is like doing this very thing. If you are even thinking about starting to smoke cigarettes, stop and think twice about what could happen to you in the end.
Thinking anything through before you do something that you know is wrong might keep you from having to pay the piper in the end. It can be easy to get started smoking because of being around your friends or family that do. This is the reason that many people do start. Children that have been exposed to smoking from an early age are more likely to smoke as well.
Many young people start smoking to impress your friends or to fit in with the a particular crowd. The ones of you that have been smoking for years probably got started this way. Things are not much different for young people today than it was years ago. The really bad thing about the young smokers of today they do not usually stay with just smoking cigarettes. They are also lead into smoking and taking drugs more easily than say in the forties or fifties. Smoking cigarettes is bad enough and then they add the smoking of these other drugs making their problems so much worse.
The younger people are when they start smoking cigarettes or even taking other drugs, the harder it can be for them to quit. If a person can be helped to quit these things before they become truly addicted, it is easier to help them stop. Once someone has become addicted to anything, it becomes a part of them and it is difficult for them to imagine not doing it. If you smoke cigarettes and have children, consider that your habit might eventually become their habit as well. The sooner you stop letting them see you smoke cigarettes the more you will increase the chance that they will ever start. Quit now for your sake as well as theirs because if they start smoking one day, you never know what else that might lead them to try.
