Everyone knows smoking can cause many types of cancers to the smokers and also to the people surrounding. In my opinion, today’s smokers think that smoking is good for their health because they feel uncomfortable, sick and dizzy without smoking at least in 1 hour. But most of smoking effects will be seen in long term therefore most of the smokers take their health as granted. According to Cancer Research UK, smoking increases the risk of cancers that includes the mouth, larynx which is the human voice box, esophagus which is the human food pipe, liver, pancreas, stomach, kidney, bladder and cervix. All these cancers cause from the nicotine that went through these organs. Moreover, we can see how these organs are functioned and connected to our lung and liver when the nicotine goes through in human body as diagram below:

Although the young generation knows more about these facts, still they continue their smoking habit, because for some it is a manly attitude, for some it is a cool habit, for some it is like a medicine to reduce stress and some do it just following other’s trail. The effect of smoking shows in the long run, so they don’t realize what harm they are doing to their health. Even though a lot of events have taken place all around the world to prevent smoking, the number of smokers haven’t reduce. Is all these prevention events don’t work? Why do you think is doesn’t work? Why do people still begin to smoke?

Good information and facts about smokers. About your question, i think most of the smokers are addicted to cigarettes..so its quite hard for them to stop smoke spontaneously and the rates of people dying everyday is increasing because of smoking. Lately, in Malaysia; a doctor has come up with a new way to stop people from smoking this idea is originally brought from Australia..This device is put at the back of your body which eject a liquid to your body so that you can control your desire to smoke. You can search the web to find more information about this new technology. :)

smoking good for health? Tell you what,before i started smoking,i could run like 500meters non_stop.Today,running 10m is a record for me!No doubts,smoking is adversely dealing with me, not only my health,but my pockets too!The more i smoke,the more i'm broke. You can't imagine how much money it consumes me.
Many people begin and continue smoking because the current smoking prevention methods simply don't work.smoking IS a social problem,and can be solved socially, not through laws,like no public smoking or increasing the price of cigarettes.The emphasis should be on HelPING people quit smoking, not FORCING people quit,because the harder you are to smokers, the harder they would smoke!
As a friend i would tell you,NEVER SMOKE.
actually in real life, many people who are smoker want to stop smoking but it is not that easy as we people who did not smoke say to stop it. I think every smoker realizes the effect of it and they never think that smoking is good for their health; they just do not know how to stop it because they addicted to do it.
Hey, you know, smoking is not just effecting the body as the long term disease and cancers, the nicotine has the ability of absorbing the vitamin C of the blood and it can even break the Ferrous of the blood and the poor ferrous leads to: poor congestion of bones and splitting the bones, weakness of the body in confronting to the fever and so on.
The question is that, why even we do believe in the bad effects of smoking we still smoke? I used to smoke for 5 years, even though my parents were giving me the hard time but I never listened to them. You know how I’ve stopped and quitted? One year a go I decided to go swimming and I found out OMG, this is not the previous body and the power I had, and it was the spark in my mind to get enough motivation to quit. I do believe in the pull strategy instead of the push strategy. Giving enough knowledge which is more hands on to the public may be the good strategy to discourage the smoking, although we all know that as long as US. is concerned we can’t see the day that there is not any cigarette in the market ;).
Smoking is never a good thing to do. It affects the brains, lungs and other parts of the body. All smokers do know that smoking affects their health, but what do majorities do about it? They continue smoking. Well, medicals have invented many ways for smokers to stop smoking or lets say a close substitute to cigarettes like the chewing gum, a device that clings on to human body to take away the desire of smoking, and many other ways but it just does not seem to help the smokers. Government can try all their best to increase cigarette prices but smokers do not care they still do buy them. I think the best way to have smokers to stop smoking is to band cigarettes.
What the ericobama said im agree with his statement.Smoking is an addiction and it cannot the stopped by forcing the smokers.All the smokers know that smoking is killing them slowly slowly but they cant prevent themselves to stop smoking.
Smoking was never good to begin with , yet there are more and more people getting into this bad habit even though they know that smoking can caused lung cancer , chronic obstructive pulmonary disease , heart disease , stroke , impotence , osteoporosis(brittle bones) . making them more susceptible to fractures , cervical cervical cancer in women, and bad breath . My opinion to your question why people still smoke is because they think is cool , that's how the media portray it to be for example the tobacco company rarely spent a lot of money on adverts or on billboards they spent it on movies , do you see the main hero in movies usually have a cigarette when they kill the bad guy or triumphant on something.And i agree with ericobama is because we can't force smokers to quit , they must quit on their on free will because the harder we push the harder they would rebel !
Smoking is never good for health, but yet there are still many people that smoke. As what ericobama said, smoking not only harms our health but our money as well. For me, stopping from smoking is depends on how strong your determination. For example, my father was a smoker but he stop smoking few years ago. He stop because he know that he has to be a role model to his children.
Smokingis not good for helth every smoker knows this.If iwant to say about me iam also a smoker and i want to give up it but i can't. I am totaly addicted with this. I also know day day it going to kill me.but now am going to reduce it. Hope one day i will stop it.
Nice topic to dicuss,and i agree with you .Oh my god, I am scared about smoking. First i want to say sorry for everybody,I am smoker,sorry to say that, but anyway i will quit it as soon as possible.smoking is very bad for the health and it's equal for cancers,and i hope if you dont smoking please never try it becasue it's very hard to quit it.
Most people begin smoking between the ages of 10 and 18. Peer pressure and curiosity are the major influences that encourage them to experiment with smoking. Also, people with parents who smoke are more likely to begin smoking than those who have nonsmoking parents. Those who begin to smoke at a younger age are more likely than late starters to develop long-term nicotine addiction.
Smoking is injurious to health, even the cigarette packages will tell you that, and yet, people continue to smoke. Why? Because tobacco smoke contains nicotine, a drug that is addictive and can make it very hard, if not impossible, to quit. There are more and more aides appearing in drugstores and doctor's offices to help people quit smoking, but nearly half of the people that decide to quit are unsuccessful, because they cannot leave without smoking.
Recent studies in US had found that 70 percent of smokers who want to stop smoking in the next six months already have tried to do so more than five times, and have failed. People turn to smoking aides like the patch and gum, but they don't work either because Big Tobacco has stacked the deck.

It is great information for the people who are smoking. Why the people like to smoke? They new smoking is very bad for health and they don’t want to stop it. If you drinker alcohol the effect is only for you but if you smoke it will effect to everyone who are around you. Dear all smokers please think about it.
everyone knows that smoking is bad and it cause all types of syndromes such as; cancer and blah blah.. old boring story yah??? i remember since my first day in school teachers are forced to tell us how smoking could be bad for us and what could happened to us if we smoke!! Dont u think its another way of doing marketing by Cigarette companies?? any teenager or school boy want to be Cool as they describe and 1st thing to be CooL is to Smoke cuz all well known celebrities are smokers: For example Malboro Man.
Ayesha good question why all these preventation events dont work and more people are smoking. well a simple answer to that may be is the addictiveness of nicotine to the humans body is hard to avoid it. Ask smokers and trust me i never came across a smoker who said he wants to keep smoking for the rest of his life, they alwasys say they do wish to stop but they find it really hard to stop.
So if these preventation events find a solution for nicotine that will remove these addictivness from the humans body it will be a hit and many smokers will quit smoking
