Trust me on this, smoking is not cool. It’s beyond my reasoning ability to comprehend the cause of lucidly poisoning yourself while being thoroughly aware of the detrimental consequences that will inevitably make you fall face first in the race of life. If you are that avid to quit your life, why would you choose the way of gradual dilapidation over quick termination. Why put off to future what can be done right away? We are eventually going to die anyway so why do we bother to squander ridiculously monumental amount of time on education, eating, shopping, adventuring, resting, and living. Well, we are boneheaded enough to do that but smokers are cognizant of the true value of time so they tend not to waste any and smoke day and night until their poor lungs give up.

Causes

Firstly, most of the guys commence smoking under the influence of peer pressure. They lack the courage to boldly refuse being victim of this sordid peril. Once they begin, there’s no going back. Gradually, smoking becomes more of a need than merely a leisure activity. Hence, they turn into chain-smokers before they know it. Therefore, at this level, they lack the ability to withdraw from this void of addiction.

Secondly, some people seek refuge in smoking to evade the bombardment of negative emotions due to some psychological or social dilemma. They take to smoking cigarettes in order to mitigate their stress which ultimately becomes their only way to overcome their predicaments. Hence, this constant smoking drives them into eternal murk called addiction.

Thirdly, defiance may be one of the factors prompting excessive smoking in youngsters. Familial conflicts lower their self-esteem and instigate the need to defy their family’s expectations through means of self-mutilating behaviors. What begins as an act of rebellion, turn soon into a horrendous monster named addiction.
