Why
do we smoke?
Why do we smoke, when we all know that it
is not good for health? There are very many reasons to it but in this article
we will ponder over the biggest reason in today’s times and that is to
release STRESS. What is stress, can we remove it through smoking, if not
then how can we remove it, lets talk a little in the light of these
questions.
What is
Stress?
What is Stress? Stress is the situation
when we feel helpless, incapable to perform, not able to meet the deadlines
and pressurized. Stress could be due to any reason, be it work pressure,
differences at personal front, may be due to financial crisis, or it could be
due to anything.
Can we
remove it through smoking?
Can we remove it through smoking? Can we
smoke away our blues in the air and relax? Perhaps the answer is in the
negative. If I have to submit a report to my boss in an hour, which I know,
is just impossible and I am thus nervous, will smoking a complete cigarette
down my lungs make me build a ginnee of that smoke that will do some miracle
for me. Perhaps that could have happened, but alas it is not so. Then why am
I smoking, if it is doing no good to me?
Then
what to do?
Then what should I do in a stressful
situation? The answer is confront it. Face the problem and find a solution to
it. As for in my case above I would have talked to my boss, for some more
time to prepare the report or if that could not have been possible to,
provide me with some helping hand. Thus in a nutshell it is only positive
attitude and logical thinking that helps you come out of a crisis situation.
That’s why it is rightly said that it’s your attitude and not your
aptitude that decides your altitude.
Dangers
of smoking
Smoking not only does no good to us but it
is bad for us, it thus does double harm to us. Smoking increases the chances
of death due to lungs and breast cancer by a number of times. It wrecks the
lungs during sports.
Tobacco the chemical contained in the cigar
narrows the blood vessels and strains our heart. The biggest harm of tobacco
is that it makes a person addictive to its use. So one should watch out, so
as not to become addictive to its use in his plight to get rid of his worries
and frustration.
