Cause Of Smoking - Dangers Of Smoking Cigarette

By Leeanne Utiger
In this article I am going to give some brief detail on two key areas of smoking. Firstly I will give you some information on what causes smoking, what really does make a person want to take up smoking and end up becoming addicted to smoking. And in addition to that I will also give you some brief details on the dangers of smoking cigarettes. There are many dangers involving smoking cigarette, yet I feel some of these dangers are not commonly thought of often enough.

The Cause of Smoking:
There is probably not a scientifically proven theory for what does in fact cause smoking in many people all over the world. I do know that many people have a false misguided thought that smoking can and will reduce stress levels. So maybe this is the cause of many smokers having taken up smoking in the first place. It is also know that peer pressure can and will be a large influential factor in ultimately becoming the cause for many teenagers taking up the smoking habit. Teenagers are easily blindly led into doing what they shouldn't, or what they know is not wise for them. Some others causes for smoking can include: rebelliousness, contagiousness, power trips, socializing. These can all be causes of smoking for one reason or another. Socializing is a key cause to smoking. This is because smoking and drinking alcohol seem to go hand in hand, or whether the cause of smoking when socializing while drinking alcohol is simply the need to do something with ones hands is questionable as a possible cause for smoking. What ever the cause has been for so many people around the world to have taken up a bad habit such as smoking, the knowledge about what smoking can do to these people needs spreading far and wide, to prevent more people ending up smoking due to unimportant causes.

Dangers of Smoking Cigarettes:
There are many dangers involved with smoking cigarettes. The main danger involved with smoking cigarettes, is that you are opening yourself up to contracting a serious health condition and disease with every cigarette that you smoke. Smoking and the dangers of it can be disastrous. Death is a danger that arises from becoming ill with one of the serious diseases that smoking cigarettes can cause. Other than the major dangers connected to smoking cigarettes, there are also hidden dangers. The more you become addicted to smoking cigarettes, the more you set yourself up for danger financially. Smoking cigarettes is not a cheap addiction these days, and you can quite well be heading for a financial danger zone with each extra cigarette you light up and begin smoking each day. You are in fact spending thousands of dollars on smoking cigarettes each year. The more you smoke cigarettes the more dangerous it is going to be for you when you think it is time to give up, or when your local doctor tells you have to give up smoking cigarettes. However by this stage, you may have already passed the danger stage and become too ill to make much of a difference in quitting smoking cigarettes. There are other dangers that surround cigarette smoking. If you have a family, you are in fact placing them in danger as well with your cigarette smoking. Second hand smoke is worse than freshly inhaled smoke that a smoker will inhale when smoking a cigarette. So you are therefore placing your loved ones in danger of illness also. Another obscure danger involved with cigarette smoking is the danger of fire. Yes - smokers need something to light their cigarettes with. Whether this be a box of matches or a lighter makes little difference. If a smoker who smokes cigarettes leaves either a box of matches lying around or a lighter lying around, they are entering a much greater danger zone than they could ever imagine. If a child finds such flammables, it is possible for them to be placing themselves and all others in the house in serious danger. Such a danger can create fire, a burnt down house, loss of possessions and even death. Do you really want to be placing your loved ones and your children in some of the dangers I have outlined above, simply through smoking cigarettes?
