Smoking
I made a little survey among my smoking friends and acquaintances and these are the results:
Reasons of Smoking:
● Free choice of lifestyle (personal freedom)
● Having a break (you dedicate your time to yourself; you do something for yourself)
● Relaxing (getting rid of physical/mental stress; enjoyment)
● Foppery (it makes you look ´mature´ / interesting, etc.)
● Curiosity (Why not to try it, friends say it’s great…)
● Want to lose weight
● Want to avoid liability for service (a young man smoked 60 cigarettes a day, then run up and down a hill => the doctor confirmed the man was not suitable for army)
● To look attractive/sexy (part of your image – rough/sexy/naughty/nasty…)
● To make new friends/ acquaintances (socialising)
x
● To deter people from contacting you (cigarette as a shield)
● To rebel against society (e.g.: gender issue => Marlene Dietrich smoking cigarettes and wearing trousers => women are equal to men)
Fascination of Smoking – (Why?):
Smoking is to some people sexy/seductive (even to some non-smokers). On the other hand, non-smokers usually don’t like the smell (so the fascination is limited).
Why Some Smokers Want to Stop (?):
● Smoking is expensive
● Health problems
● Influenced by non-smokers (family; friends)
● Death of a close friend/family member who was a smoker
● Becoming mature (no foppery any more [?])
● Anti-smoking presentation during biological seminar
P.S.: I have no intention in supporting smokers to continue smoking or in supporting non-smokers to be more/less tolerant of smokers. Let everyone judge for herself/himself.
