It's my cigarette and I know the handle with!

SMOKING, FIRST AND FOREMOST, IS A BEHAVIOR, SO JUST HAVING CLEAR PSYCHOLOGICAL MECHANISMS THAT FIGHT MAY BE LEFT

Addictive pleasure, gestures easily become daily habits, even among the most harmful.This is the opinion of a prominent psikologeje the department of psychology at the University of Bologna. It explains the reasons pushing them abound with cigarette smokers, so drink more than they should. Even in a book called "Psychology of tobacco" was given exactly the reasons, beliefs, values, goals and characteristics of smokers, because, according to her, smoking, first and foremost, is a behavior and only considering the mechanisms that fight It can be removed from his hand.

"Smoking harms health": this is the message that can be read anywhere. How come it's so hard to give up cigarettes?

Mostly are biological reasons. Nicotine addiction is already certified 100%. When we asked smokers, most of them stated that it has tried at least once in life to leave, so that addiction can also be involuntary. Then there is the type of psychological dependence, which affects motivation and satisfaction factors related to the gesture of drinking. Decisive about this dependency is when a person has started smoking a cigarette, smoking usually begins in adolescence. On rare to find people who start smoking in adulthood.

But why?

Because today there is a greater awareness against tobacco damages. There should never underestimate this aspect, we are talking about an action that has a harmful effect on health. Smoking begins in adolescence, when these risks are considered irrelevant factors: smoking is part of the experimentation. Thus, starting smoking at an early age, it is normal that the subject in question to establish dependencies when to grow and at this point the cigarette will become a habit, just like everything else, becoming part of the image of the person.

Cigarettes are intertwined in terms of ritual and acting. Does to smoke before comrades has become a kind of fashion?

I actually overlook this aspect. More than ostentatious, it seems as if the smoker considers his behavior and accepted in society.

Is this a way to emphasize individual freedom?

Of course that is an individual behavior. Reasoning that makes smoker is: "I like to smoke, even though I know what causes damages. When I did not haze of cigarette others, why should anyone stop me ma? ".

You think that teens smoke imitation?

It is known that the first experiences with smoking occur in middle school, then with an increase during the first Vice high school and fell in the end. In the middle part the effect off: smoking is an experiment in group behavior. But has to do with social image, it represents the growth phase. In the case of girls, for example, smoking is associated with heavy makeup, with a more extravagant clothing doggy larger.

There are those who consider smoking a perfect pleasure. What do you think?

I agree, tobacco is considered a pleasure.Apparently it is a subjective experience, but also ex-smokers for many years, which have left a cigarette for many health reasons, refer to this pleasant memory. Smoking affects positively all sensory system: the taste, sniff, scent. Like the taste of tobacco smoke when it comes from the mouth and nose. However, our duty is reminding everyone how harmful it is for health and what we can to help with people who want to quit. Equally important is the launch discouraging adolescent cigarette, so we must put emphasis on prevention and to provide them with alternative non-harmful behavior, to be accepted by their peers and to feel older.
