But what these tobacco companies do not show us are smokers who are older, wrinkled, coughing or even on oxygen from years of smoking cigarettes. Most people would like to stop smoking but don't have the ability to kick this very addictive habit. Yes, smoking is more addictive than cocaine, crack, or heroin. That is still no reason you should take up this dangerous habit. Don't feel pressured to smoke simply because everyone else seems to be smoking.
Most teens never intend to become addicted, but it happens rather innocently.
They may begin by smoking a cigarette offered to them by a friend. They may then buy a pack once in a while. Before long, they can't get by without smoking. They have become addicted, and will find it extremely difficult to break that addiction. Smoking will affect your participation in sports too.
