What Will Stop You From Smoking?
Summary:
Smoking is primarily a psychological habit rather than a physiological one. Despite widespread awareness of its health risks, smoking continues to attract people globally. What further education do we need to wake up to its dangers?Article Body:
The dangers of smoking to our health are well-known. Its negative effects on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems are taught in schools, discussed in the media, and even condemned in churches. Clearly, cigarette smoking causes more problems for smokers than the temporary satisfaction it provides.Why People Smoke Cigarettes
According to Ernest Dichter, author of The Psychology of Everyday Living, smoking offers both psychological pleasure and physiological satisfaction. Many individuals claim that smoking provides them with a sense of satisfaction they can't find elsewhere.
Dichter suggests that this psychological pleasure stems from a universal desire for self-expression. We often crave the carefree enjoyment from our childhoods, but as we grow older, responsibilities take precedence. Smoking becomes a substitute for those carefree moments, offering a brief escape and a moment of pleasure.
His research, based on studies of hundreds of respondents, indicates that these psychological pleasures often outweigh religious, moral, and legal arguments against smoking.
The Dangerous Effects of Smoking
In the United States, smoking is the leading preventable cause of premature death, responsible for nearly 440,000 of over 2.4 million annual deaths according to the American Heart Association. Smokers face higher risks of chronic disorders than non-smokers, including artery blockages, various cancers, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Atherosclerosis, a buildup of fatty substances in the arteries, significantly contributes to smoking-related deaths. Numerous studies confirm that smoking is a major cause of coronary heart disease, leading to heart attacks.
Despite efforts to spread information about the dangers of smoking, the habit persists, particularly in African countries where tobacco use is rising rapidly.
Is There Hope?
Warnings, preaching, and oppressive measures seem ineffective in reducing smoking's allure. Unfortunately, powerful individuals and the advertising industry often support the promotion of this harmful product.
We ask ourselves in desperation: What will stop people from smoking? Beyond psychological explanations and the unique satisfaction smokers derive, it ultimately comes down to self-discipline and understanding what's best for your health, others, and the environment. What further education do we need?
Nonetheless, if smoking is the leading preventable cause of disease and death, it is encouraging to remember that it is, indeed, preventable.
