One of the reasons has to with hormones Smoking releases a hormone called epinephrine, a substance which actually creates physiological stress in the smoker Although many people believe that smoking calms the nerves, this hormone actually increases feelings of stress, leading the smoker to feel that just one more cigarette will calm him down Of course, that next smoke only increases restlessness Tobacco is addictive, and smokers need increasingly larger doses to reach desired effect They become physically and psychologically dependent on it and will suffer severe withdrawal symptoms when they eventually quit smoking The list of illnesses caused directly or indirectly by smoking includes heart disease, various types of cancer, chronic bronchitis as well as other respiratory illnesses, and even the loss of one’s sense of smell and taste People who smoke may have social problems too, because they sometimes smell unpleasant or have bad breath Unfortunately, this may lead to their smoking even more because they feel lonely and unpopular, so they need extra “kick” that the cigarette gives them The solution is simple – quit smoking now!
