Rather of taking in oxygen in the morning, a buddy of mine smokes carbon monoxide. Upon questioning, he asserts that smoking first thing in the morning is a more beneficial way to begin the day.
When you ask a smoker while he is indulging in such act, they have so much to tell you about their reasons for smoking. Some say it gives them inspiration, some say it makes them not to to think of their problems and sorrows, as if they will be free from such after the light goes off. I have witnessed some smokers who go to defecate while smoking and according to him if he doesn't indulge in that while defecating then he won't be able to pass his waste. So you see that the government has a role to play in this by regulation how people can smoke because it also has some health challenges like you have mentioned. I think the rate of smoking is higher now especially among the young and youth.
Yes, you are right and I agree with you, the high rate of smoking addiction is becoming something else, even to the extent if they have mental disorder due to smoking, you will still them smoking, it has become their habits that everything they are doing, they must smoke, that they can't even go a day without smoking, they can't do without it, it has now become part of them, part of their lifestyle, which is very wrong and when you advice them to reduce the rate in which they smoke, nor even to stop it but to reduce because it cause some damages in our body system but they will refuse and doesn't want anybody to tell them anything concerning smoking again, that since they have been smoking it, it hasn't make them sick or kill them. So this addiction of smoking can only be stop by issuing law by the government, in this way, it will be of help to everyone.
