Smokers Psychology

After an active career in smoking for the last 4 years and now finally quitting(still early days),talking to many who smoke i saw a whole different side of things.

Ask almost any current smoker why they continue to indulge in such a dangerous activity and they will normally reply, "Because I like smoking." - The truth is that most do not smoke because they enjoy smoking, rather they smoke because they do not enjoy not smoking.

Many Smokers believe they continue to smoke because of their self-destructive attitude. They actually want to get sick. Some say they are afraid of reaching old age - Again most make these statements to hide their fears of not being able to give up cigarette smoking.

Classics - Some say they smoke because they are nervous. Others say they smoke to celebrate. Some think they smoke for energy. Many smoke to look sexy. Yet others smoke to stay awake or to sleep. Some think they smoke to think. the list goes on... Excuses:)

The trust remains and ask any smoker about it, bet my life they wont say it but they smoke cigarettes because they are smokers. More precisely, smokers smoke cigarettes because they are smoke-a-holics and thats the simple answer to it.

i have used the above excuses so many times:) and can already see some of you nodding your heads.but the truth as well is that i have made a lot of good friends while smoking/because both of us smoked.

lets see how long i can manage this
