Teens smoking
There are many smokers who are aware of the all the reasons why they need to quit smoking. They beat themselves up, and they moan about lack of willpower. Smokers who are in such a condition feel mood swings, cravings and irritability. Many people tell that they want to quit smoking but they never do.
For some women who have small children, cigarettes give an escape for few minutes. Both men and women use cigarettes as a reward. They make it as an excuse to take a break. You need to realize that they are just beliefs. Your unconscious mind needs to act in accordance with your beliefs. When you do it initially, you will experience conflict, the discomfort of being torn between what you 'should' do, and what you feel comfortable in doing.
If you are wondering why most smokers take up some bad habits in teens, here are the reasons. You can ask any smoker and they will answer you. Most of the smokers catch up with smoking between the age of 10 and 20. Psychologists say that during this time of our lives, when we are extremely sensitive to being part of the group. To fit into a group, we do certain things and this is because we do not want to be left out. It is just a situation where your mind is being described like an iceberg. Nine tenths below the surface. During our teens, we start smoking. This is to protect ourselves from emotional pain. During that time, there could also be peer pressure. This also explains as to why though we cough, we don't leave smoking initially till it actually becomes a habit. After many years, when you think now and want to stop smoking, you will think how difficult it is going to be. You start panicking and become anxious. You start thinking on how you can survive without a cigarette in your hand. These kind of uncomfortable feelings are purely caused by your unconscious mind. You still think you are a teenager and you are doing a favor by smoking. Your unconscious mind still thinks that you have an emotional pain. It doesn't think it is going to do good if you stop smoking. Teen smoking is more dangerous as it tends to persist over time and you can do nothing about it. Unless you have elevated yourself to know that smoking is actually hampering your health, you will be unable to stop it.
You should not succumb to peer pressure during college and try to avoid smoking. This can be a crucial phase in life and need to be controlled during teens. Teen smoking has become a very common phenomenon and action needs to be taken regarding that. Students should be counseled not to do so.
