Do you smoke or know someone close to you who is addicted to smoking? Tell us about him.

Smoking is a curse and I do not smoke. Even I do not like smoking and the smokers. If someone says me to bring the cigarettes I do not like it because if I hold the cigarettes they leave their smell In hands which I do not like. In my closest family like my brothers and cousins there is no one who smokes. In some far relatives there are some persons who do smoking. The father of my sister in law is addicted to smoking. He does smoking extremely on a daily basis. He is a 40 years person and he cannot stay without smoking. Smoking had become an addiction for him. And he cannot astray from smoking. I often see him as a smoker.

Do you know why and How do people become addicted to cigarettes smoking?

Addiction to cigarettes smoking can happen for a few reasons. Nicotine is a primary reason which is found in cigarettes. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance. And people become addicted to it because of smoking unknowingly. When people do smoking then nicotine enters their bloodstream. It affects their brain. It causes feelings of pleasure and relaxation for the smokers. As the time passes the brain becomes used to having nicotine. And the brain craves for it which is gotten by the smoking. And this thing leads to cigarettes addiction.

On the other hand smoking can also become a habit. People also use it a way to cope with stress. And smoking is very harmful for the health and it's addiction is very bad. And the addictors do smoking to maintain their internal activities as well as sleep.

Tell us about the negative impacts of smoking on one's mental and physical health?

Smoking is always injurious to health. Smoking have significant negative impacts on both mental and physical health. I would like to discuss some mental effects of smoking first. Mentally the smoking is linked to increased risk of anxiety. It causes depression and other mental health disorders. If someone is already suffering with some me Tal problems then It can also make the existing mental problems to extreme level.

On the other hand smoking has different effects on our physical health. Physically the smoking is a leading cause of various health problems. It causes many deadliest diseases such as lungs cancer, heart disease, stroke, and respiratory diseases. It damages the lungs with each inhale of the smoking. It effects our immune system badly as It makes our immune system weak. One of the worst physical effect is that it leads to premature aging. So we should quit smoking. As quitting smoking will surely improve our mental health and physical health.

How can you guide someone to quit smoking and come back to his normal life?

As I have already mentioned that it is very challenging and difficult to quit smoking. But yet it is possible with hard work and restricted routines. We should try different plans and strategies to quit smoking completely and to live a smoking free life. We should smokers about it's injurious effects. We should raise awareness about it's mental and physical health effects. We should suggest the smokers to visit the rehabilitation centres to get the proper guidance and alternative to fulfill their needs of nicotine with the help of some therapies . They should use guns to fulfill their cravings. So that they can leave smoking.

The smokers should do some exercises and they should join some hobbies to avoid smoking. Moreover we should raise awareness about the smoking between the smokers so they can quit it easily seeing it's bad impacts on health. There is always a need of solid determination.
