Answers:
80% of smokers start before age 19. These people usually at first don't intend to smoke long-term and do it because of peer pressure or because they think it looks cool. But many people who start smoking that first cigarette cannot stop smoking. It becomes a major problem, and everyday they have the urge to smoke. Eventually it becomes such a problem that they feel like they will die if they don't just get that "last cigarette" and they try to quit but the withdrawal is so unpleasant and intense that they smoke "just this last cigar" and end up getting hooked on smoking again.

Here's the science behind it. Nicotine is an addictive substance, as you've most likely heard. It gets into your system. It takes many hours to get it out of your system. Some people can control their smoking urges. Some can't. Others don't get addicted at all. Smoke from cigars releases carbon monoxide into your system. The dosage of carbon monoxide is so low that it does not have any harming effects. However the hemoglobin in your red blood cells is even more attracted to carbon monoxide than oxygen, resulting in less oxygen being absorbed into your body and transferred to where it's needed.

If smokers could stop smoking, they would. The problem is they can't stop. They eventually need more than their own willpower to stop smoking. They need outside help to overcome the problem. And for all you smokers out there who want to quit smoking, please, don't just sit around and tell yourself you can stop anytime you want. Get help.Health Question & Answer
