Smoking Has Tendency to Affect Your Spirits
 

Some people smoke to relax and some to feel more alert when they feel dull. Some take up smoking because they want to relax their nerves when feel stressed, bored or to overcome their anger. A cigarette becomes their doctor, their buddy, their life. It all happens because of chemicals present in cigarettes. These chemicals result in psychological effects that they have on the nerves of a smoker.

The head of these chemicals is Nicotine. It works as a stimulant. It has the same components and functions that cocaine, amphetamine has. Smokers want to have a boost up feeling when they feel depressed, irritated and frustrated. The resistance to overcome all these feelings is provided by the nicotine. It also increases their heart rate, blood pressure and breathing rate due to which a smoker feels more alert than before. It helps in his spontaneous but deceptive recovery. After sometime a smoker finds himself at the same point with more deteroiting health. Cigarette has products like acetaldehyde and carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is harmful of all the substances. It makes one feel dull as if someone has locked you in the stuffy room. These chemicals have property of reducing the tensions, anger and irritation. They hold these feelings but not eliminate them. Something which is suppressed comes out more strongly. This same case happens in smoking.

People smoke, when taking coffee, consuming alcohol and eating desserts. It becomes a comfortable habit for them and they start taking it for granted. A smoker gets involved in different fantasies as he feels that his stress is bothering him less after a puff, he is able to concentrate more.

Getting addicted Initially a smoker smokes for false pleasure but when he continues his habit, he does so out of his habit for having nicotine. Until and unless he gets a dose of nicotine, he can not work properly. He gets addicted to the deadly drug.

Need to understand Try to differentiate between feelings when you were craving for the puff and when you have finished with your cigarette. The come up differences will make you understand your position that later will help you to quit the smoking.
