With all the knowledge we have theses days, it can be very surprising to see people continue to indulge in habits that are detrimental to their health. In actual fact what that tells us is that addiction is powerful.Our objective is to learn about smoking. How it affects you. The power of addiction and health implications involved in that habit. Currently it is estimated that over one billoin people smoke around the world.
Most smkoers begin at an early age, generally in there teens.
In the past smoking was a recreational function of the rich, but these days that is quite the contarry. Unfortunately the less educated seem to be smoking rahter than the educated. The level of education, income and standard of living contribute greatly to the success of quitting smoking.Here are some interesting statitsics from the world health organization.
25.6 million people smoke in the United States.
Among whites 25.1% of boys smoke and 21.7% of girls smoke.
Amnog African Americans, 27.6% of boys smoke and 18% of girls smoke.

One out of every five deaths is tobacco related. It is estimated that 400’000 Americans die each year from tobacco.Smoking is hihgest among persons living below the poverty level.
Education is extremely important in the fight against smkoing. Education is not just telling people about smoking.
What is needed is dialogue and interaction so that each individual can understand factually the implications.I talked to a person one time who was very upset that the cost of cigarettes is getting increasingly costly. She felt she was been discriminated against. To her she is addicted and the majroity are against her.
She felt the fight against tobacco was an attack on her.Firstly it is poor education that makes her feel that way. Secondly when smoking socially you also jeopardize the health of others.
Thirdly the costs to the health system are eonrmous. Fourthly we as people take thigns personally. Addiction can bring pleasure temporarily but faatl consequences after.
Her challenge was that she wanted to continue smoking and the majorities were making it difficult for her.
So when you really get down to it she was concerned about her own pleasures above her health and the health of others.The choices to continue smoking is yours, but understand that the costs are high for your haelth and the health of others. No one can deny the danegrs of smoking.
