Hello steemit friends

How are you all?
Hopefully still keep the spirit and keep fighting for goodness.

Today I will take part in this amazing contest organized by the STEEMIT HEALTH community with the theme of discussing "smoking kills" I think this is a very extraordinary topic to discuss, why is that?

Across the world, awareness of smoking kills is minimal, as in my country, male cigarette addicts reach 80%, they don't care about their own health and the health of those around them for the sake of the pleasure they get, it's not worth the effect.

Whether it's a lack of knowledge about the dangers of smoking, and there is no study and understanding of smoking kills you or there are no specific prohibitions regulated in state law, so smokers are free to smoke in public places.

Thank you to my friend @ustazkarim who invited me to participate in this amazing contest,
And now I'm going to get into the discussion:

Give your views on the expression "smoking kills"

Personally, I really agree with the expression smoking kills, why is that?

I am a former heavy cigarette addict so I can tell you my experience when smoking, there are no other benefits from smoking besides getting tongue satisfaction and relaxing nicotine.

The effects of Nicotine and Tar contained in cigarettes can affect the human body's immune system and are susceptible to disease.

The effects caused by smoking are very harmful to health, therefore it is very natural that there is a saying
smoking kills

What are the main reasons why people become addicted to smoking

According to my personal experience and that of other friends, we have had a smoking culture since we were adults, when there were youth gatherings it was incomplete if we didn't smoke, and from this experiment we were addicted and eventually addicted.

Nicotine is the main source that makes people addicted to cigarettes, nicotine is very influential for health and suppression of nerves, nicotine can calm nerves that are tense, so smokers will feel calm after smoking cigarettes.

Are you addicted to smoking, or is someone you know addicted to smoking? what changes did you see after addiction?

Yes, I am a person who is addicted to smoking, but I have quit since four years ago, due to illness, in my village 90% of male smokers, so it's very easy to see changes after smoking addiction

Changes in behavior: feeling like you can't get rid of cigarettes, and are willing to make sacrifices to get cigarettes, after eating you can't do without cigarettes, before and after work you definitely smoke cigarettes and some even while working.

Physical changes: people who are addicted to smoking have a faster pulse, decreased appetite, impaired growth, cannot sleep soundly because they are affected by coughing and phlegm, decreased intelligence, decreased immune system and get sick easily.

What should we do to reduce smoking addiction?

To reduce the level of smoking addiction, it must be supported by various sources, for example instilling an understanding of the dangers of smoking from an early age, limiting and eliminating smoking culture for adolescents.

The government must make strict regulations regarding smoking discipline, for example: limiting the minimum age for smoking, places where smoking is permitted, do not smoke in public places, and there should be advertisements for the dangers of smoking on social media that are easily understood and understood by the wider community.
