Smoking, Inhaling, and Exhaling Smoke from Burning Plant Material A variety of plant materials are smoked, including marijuana and hashish, but this law usually involves smoking tobacco in cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. Smoking destroys the tiny air sacs or alveoli in the lungs that allow for oxygen exchange. When you smoke, you cause some damage to those air sacs.

Smoking cigarettes is bad for health. As the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the United States, cigarette smoking accounts for more than 480,000 deaths annually. Smoker are lives in 10 years less on average than non-smokers. Today, over 16 million Americans live with diseases caused by smoking. Whenever the urge to smoke comes, remind yourself: you don't need cigarettes, your life will be better without them - over time, a greater desire to stop harming your body will arise.

What are the main reasons why people become addicted to smoking?

People have different reasons why they started smoking in the first place, even about the health risks involved. We'll discuss five common reasons why people smoke and keep smoking.

5 Reasons why people become Addicted to Smoking :

---

• Influence of parents : A parent's relationship is essential for a child who is still growing. Therefore, when a child grows up in a home where they regularly see their parents smoke, the child is twice as likely to start smoking as a child raised by nonsmokers.

• Peer Pressure : Anyone who has gone through adolescence will be acutely aware of the social and emotional struggles it can be for a teen to fit in at school or be considered "cool." . Also, the younger you are when you start smoking, the more likely you will become addicted to nicotine. However, peer pressure is not limited to teenagers.

• Genetic Factors : A study found that co-dependence on drugs can be genetic. Studies have linked addiction to nicotine, the active ingredient in tobacco products such as cigarettes. However, it is important to note that studies implicating genetics in addiction do not automatically imply that a gene for addiction has been passed on.

• Causing Stress : Some people start smoking to get rid of stress and some people succumb to stress and become regular smokers, even if they initially smoked only because of the sedative effects of cigarette nicotine.

• The Influence of the Mass Media : A large number of characters in films are smokers, which may lead teenagers to believe that smoking is desirable and normal.

What should we do to reduce the rate of smoking addiction?

To reduce the rate of smoking addiction we should change the habits of those who are addicted. Dissemination of the dangers of smoking. We have to take initiatives to increase the health awareness of society. I have presented some useful tips to you to get rid of smoking addiction.

• Make a commitment to quit smoking today. Throw the pack of cigarettes on the table or in the dustbin.

• Try not smoking for a day. Then try experiencing the difference. Stay away from smoking for two or three days thereafter. Then the habit will develop.

• Connect with quitters around you. Learn about changes in their health.

• Take a look at how much you spend every month on cigarettes or tobacco products? After calculation it will be easier for you to quit smoking. Saving that money can be spent in other sectors.
