subject: Is Smoking Tobacco Ruining Your Life [print this page] When most people start smoking tobacco, they probably know that they are picking up a very bad habit and that it is unhealthy for them to do it. It is just so sad because it is usually only after they have become addicted to smoking that they find out just how bad it really is. Many long time tobacco smokers will likely tell you that is the one single most destructive thing they have done to their life. Even some tobacco smokers that have not been at it that long will tell you the same. Most all tobacco smokers wish they had never seen a cigarette, let alone pick one up and started to smoke it.
It does not take long at all after becoming addicted to smoking tobacco that the smoker realizes that it is not no much fun or satisfying as it was in the beginning. They might have started out smoking in a social setting at a bar or restaurant with friends just to try it. It probably did not take those that started smoking this way long to realize that just because you are not having an alcoholic drink or even a coffee does not mean that you will still not want to have a cigarette. It is very quickly discerned that the tobacco monster that calls you has an insatiable appetite that will begin to annoy you night and day.
When someone starts smoking tobacco, they generally fall into all the little habits that most smokers do. They will have a craving for one when they wake up in the morning and it might seem impossible to have a cup of coffee without one. They will crave one after every meal. They will get into the habit of smoking while they drive or while they talk on the phone. They will soon discover that there are not many things they do during their day that does not require lighting a cigarette.
This is what is so annoying about being addicted to smoking tobacco. It follows you every where you go whether you want it to or not. When you go to the movie theater, you might have to go out in the middle of the show if you think of a cigarette because you just have to have one. It is all of these little things that makes smoking so intrusive in your life. You have to feed that habit even when you no longer want to. You might think that someone has to have been smoking for years for it to be so consuming for them, but that is not always the case. Once you become addicted to anything it will begin to control you and your life and the only way you can stop it is to find a way to give it up. This is what can ruin a person's life because many addicts of all kinds are not able to ever find a way to defeat their addiction.
