my view concerning smoking

Smoking is very dangerous to life, health,and to the society at large
Smoking can affect the way we relate with people and it can also affect our future

Smoking can lead to death that's why it should be avoided by all means but I wonder why people read the label which says smoker are reliable to die young but still smoke.
Could it be manipulation?

Reasons why people are addicted to smoking

In my own understanding and observation smoking smoking is addictive because of the presence of nicotine found in it

nicotine is a stimulus that speeds up medical reaction in the body
but there are many other stimulants that speeds up reaction too
Which are

*Amphetamine

• Betel nut

• Caffeine

• Cocaine

• Dexamphetamine

and so many others

This drugs are very harmful and can cause series of diseases to the body not only disease but emotional trumas to the body some of the disease are

• Cancer
• Strokes
• Sexual dysfunction
• Coronary heart disease
• Periodontitis
• Pneumonia

And it can also lead to

• Madness
• Stress and anxiety
• Misbehavior etc

Are my addicted or is a friend addicted

I can never be part of such because from the start my parents will never allow me but I've seen people doing it and I can tell about their Change of attitude and character

• Most people who are involved in smoking don't regards other , they feel like they are too big and you're too small.
  They don't respect their elders and they insults everyone

• Though they are not strong but they are always the ones to start a fight because they are always high

• Those involved in drug do steal alot especially when the don't have money to quench their urge they only results to stealing

• Those involved in drugs are bullies and they are arrogant

• They are always sick either emotionally or health wise

These are some of the characters I've seen in people that do smoke and more that I've not mentioned

But this people are not regarded among the society and they are called thugs that's enough reason for them to change

what to do to reduce the rate of smoking addictive

According to my own knowledge on how to reduce the risk of smoking addictive

• Because smoking is addictive and is hard to break from I think that smoker should be taught about the danger of smoking and should be encourage to quit smoking by guiding them to reduce the number of cigarettes intake daily

• Companies that produces cigarette and other harmful drugs should be shutdown

• any one caught smoking should be detained for days or months

• A program should be organized for those in detention teaching them on how to gradually break free form drugs

After months of detention the effects of addiction will reduce

• Anyone caught selling drugs should be imprisoned as the person is a threat to the
  society

• If a close friend smokes he or she should not be covered, they should be exposed and cautioned at the early stage to avoid addiction

• Above all we should always pray for them to change because the bible says by strength shall no man prevail so by God's help they will overcome

In conclusion with love and endurance you can actually help a drug addict to change and break free from the harmful effects of drugs
