There are other reasons people start smoking, but more often than not, it is because of the image that is created in their minds through the use of these clever advertising campaigns. They see it in the movies, on television, at concerts, etc.
In some parts of the world smoking is viewed as a “rite of passage�. Seeing third world youngsters, some of them 10 years and younger, is not unusual.

Most people get started smoking with their first cigarettes given to them by older friends or family members. Part of the reason they smoke is to be a part of the crowd that they admire or people they aspire to emulate. Many times their peers encourage them to start, and even show them how it is done, even how to do things such as blowing smoke rings, etc.

It is about image more than anything else as most people would agree that the first cigarette is certainly not pleasant. If food tasted that bad most of us would never eat again. It becomes a challenge to overcome the coughing, burning throat, the choking, the burning of the eyes. If something is seen to be cool or fashionable then there will be many people who will do it simply to be accepted by their peers.

The majority of people find that smoking tastes bad and makes them feel bad until they become accustomed to the taste then those feelings disappear. By that time they have started to become addicted to the tobacco and nicotine and a new problem presents itself.

Statistics show that the majority of people who smoke wish they had never started, if only they could wind back the clock they would certainly never have started. They fool themselves into thinking that they can quit any time they want. After a few tries at quitting they buy into the notion that quitting is too hard, they don’t have the will power, it’s really not as bad as people say. They begin to justify their habit with comments like;

• I really enjoy smoking,
• It relaxes me,
• It keeps me thin.
• I can quit any time I want.

After a very short time the addictive nature of tobacco and nicotine start to control the smoking habit, which makes so many people continue to smoke long after they realize the many ways it is affecting their health. Knowing that they are shortening their life is generally not enough incentive to quit.

Fortunately the message about the real dangers that smoking brings to the smokers health and longevity is getting out, and it is becoming a more unacceptable practice and not seen as fashionable in many areas of society.

It is becoming harder to find places where it is even legal to smoke, the sight of smokers huddled outside of workplaces and many public places, even in bad weather, is becoming more common.

Many states have in recent years raised the taxes on tobacco products to very high levels, while this is not a very effective way to convince people to quit, it is having some impact.

Tip 2: All the reasons to quit

Why do you want to quit? Do you have children? Do you want to live to see your grandchildren? Are you sick of the smell? Whatever your reasons are, write them down. Keep a daily journal of how you feel and in the very first entry list in bold letters every reason you have for quitting. List things like health reasons, expense, inconvenience, bad breath, or other reasons and make the list as long as possible. Also be sure to list how you WILL feel when you?ve kicked the habit.

Tip 3: The good, the bad and the ugly

After you complete your lists of reasons you want to quit and how you?ll feel after you?ve quit, make a list of the consequences of not quitting. Have other smokers in your family gotten cancer? Have they died? Do they have to speak through a hole in their neck? Will you be unable to pay off debt because you?re always buying cigarettes? Whatever you consequences, be sure to list all of them. As above, be sure to list the consequences (good consequences, of course) of quitting. Keep them to look forward to.

Tip 4: Break time!

Most smokers agree: a cigarette is a break. When quitting, give yourself breaks, but do something. Go for walk, eat a piece of fruit or drink some juice. This is critical because the body will be going through changes expelling all the accumulated poisons. The fruit will aid this process in many ways.

Good luck!

Soon after the first victories and the final installation in those new territories, the conquerors began to feel strange males (the worst of which was boredom). Seeing that the natives aspired a mysterious smoke to alleviate their suffering and certain diseases, test and eventually ended up becoming accustomed to their use, to the point of becoming dependent entirely of snuff, as also relates Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, who after reprimand for consuming snuff soldiers received in response was “not his hand to take leave.”
The landing of snuff in Europe

Probably not Columbus himself who brought the first seeds. But, undoubtedly, were the soldiers and sailors returning home who spread their consumption levels and low-level port economy.

They soon began importing large quantities, and soon its cultivation expanded dramatically to the point that in the seventeenth century even exceeded the tomato and potato plants also in the Americas.
Let the world

The small size of their seeds favored its spread throughout the world. During the sixteenth century the Portuguese took him to Africa and China, and Jewish merchants from the Mediterranean to Turkey, from where it passed into Asia.
Healing Properties and demonic

Since its first introduction up to the eighteenth century snuff is gradually spreading to all levels of society, probably helped by the medicinal properties, almost magical, that are attributed to the point of reaching recommended as first-line asthma medicine.

But it was also seen as something demonic, as was said, turned into puppets to their consumers. Therefore, during the sixteenth century were issued recommendations against their use and were punished with fines. But their consumption, despite everything, he continued to spread and by the end of the sixteenth century had been accepted without question by the European aristocracy. He began to dawn that has the special ability to penetrate the snuff everywhere and consumed anywhere. Again, more measures to curb its consumption: a Turkish sultan condemned to be beheaded anyone who consume snuff in public, and in 1642 became Pope Urban VIII to make the excommunication of those who use it in church: faithful and priests .

But all that did not stop after consumption of the eighteenth century underwent a progressive and relentless growth, now made exclusively for social and pleasurable.

The cigarette making machine

The first consumers of snuff taking it sucked and powder, or by wrapping the leaves in cigar-shaped (the most superficial layer, which provided cover to snuff, it was a corn husk), while chewing snuff was more like of masons and mariners, and that allowed them to keep idle hands and not arson.

But the consumption that prevailed until the early nineteenth century was that of powdered snuff. From then be replaced by a pipe, cigar and smoking hand-rolled by the user or cigarette (which was the name of the workers working the LIAB) of manufacturing companies. But for a short time, because the middle of this century invented the cigarette rolling machine that will allow mass production, and the great possibility to expand and reach new markets for the newly created tobacco companies.

Thus, snuff, considered only as a habit again, extends throughout the world, affecting mainly to countries with higher economic power.

The great business of a serious health problem

We reached the twentieth century. With industrialization, snuff has become big business. The major tobacco companies are consolidated and are fueling a growing global consumption with innovative advertising campaigns that subtly make the snuff in an excellent and pleasant way of human communication.

By mid-century voices begin to sound the alarm on the dangers smoking has on health, and begin to limit their consumption in public spaces, and the advertising. Since the sixties the avalanche of scientific studies showing that consumption is not a habit but an addiction is the leading cause of preventable death in developed countries, is as unstoppable as the continued growth in global consumption of snuff and enrichment industry, which at the end of the century has already selected new “victims”, which directs their advertising and their efforts: women, youth and the population of developing countries.
A bit of vocabulary

The name “snuff” comes from the cane inhaler that Indians of the island of Spanish (one of the first discovered American territories) used to inhale the smoke.

The word “cigar” has its origin in the appearance of the first pure. Its shape and color reminiscent of grasshoppers or crickets.
