There are very many reasons to it but in this article we will look over the biggest reason in today's world and that is to release STRESS. So what is stress, can we get rid of it through smoking, if not then how can we get rid of it, lets look at the reason behind smoking.

Stress - What is it? Stress is the result of feeling helpless, incapable to perform, not able to meet the deadlines and pressurized. Stress could be due to any reason, be it down to pressure at the office, home or even a bad financial situation, or it could be due to anything your not happy with.

Well lets look at it like this, will smoking get you out of that bad financial situation or do your work for you at the office or even ease things at home. I don't think so! Then why carry on smoking, it's not going to cure the problems but just ease it for a few minutes at the very most.

So what do you do? Then what should I do in a stressful moment? The answer is to confront it head on. You need to find a long term solution to the problem. If you having financial trouble, go to the bank. Trouble at the office, see your boss. Don't go to the shop and buy more cigarettes, they won't sort the problem out long term. By confronting it head on you will ease your stress over time.
