In your opinion, is smoking a physical (body) or mental (mind) addiction? Please explain your answer with explanation and examples.
Have a good weekend!
I think the issue is hidden argument to justify smokers. They want to take off responsibility for the fact that they can't quit smoking. Believe a former smoker with 32 yrars of experience, you can quit smoking at any time. Could be only two reasons for your continued smoking. First, you don't want to quit smoking. May be not really want to quit smoking. Maybe you just want to stop smoking for a while to feel better. Admit it yourself, you don't get physiological plesure when you smoke. This is moral satisfaction: on the way you look in the eyes of others (you think it is beautiful and makes you more manly); you are trying to evoke pity for someone to yourself, etc. Maybe there are other thoughts about smoking, but they all have a reason - you don't believe in yourself. The man sure of himself, does not need the small details that elevate it above the others. Second, You are not afraid of the effects of smoking. You think that you are young and still have time to stop smoking when you need it for health.The first serious health problem, when you would face death, you immediately stop smoking.
ReplyDeleteFor those who don't have the will to quit smoking, I can give you advice: enclose a bet with someone whom you respect and will not fool for the $ 10,000 that you're not smoking a year. Greed and avarice will help you quit smoking.
I know that my paragraph don't have details and concluding sentence, but this thoughts wrote truly from my heart.
I like your advice.
Deletei like ur advice too Rustem :)
DeleteI full agree with you Rustem.When you wrote these sentences:
Deleteyou can quit smoking at any time. Could be only two reasons for your continued smoking. First, you don't want to quit smoking. May be not really want to quit smoking. Maybe you just want to stop smoking for a while to feel better. Admit it yourself,
( these a good reasons and helpful to guit smoking good job Rustem )
Hi Rustem
DeleteI agree with you when you said that the smoker can quit smoking at any time but the truth could not quit smoking at any time, because nicotine is a substance that causes addiction, smoking
good luck
In my opinion smoking addiction is mental for many reasons between adult and teenagers. For example, teens believe that smoking makes them adults in front of others, and they are better than others. Also, some teenagers and adults in case they feel bored or had a problem they think that smoking is a solution for that. Some smokers to be like their friends. Adults smoke for other reasons. They may have a lot of stress and pressures because of personal problems. Believed smokers from quitting smoking very difficult thing, but this is not true. Smokers are creating the wrong reasons do not help them to quit or thinking about quitting. In fact, you can quit smoking any time if you have the will .
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion there is no impossible in quitting smoking, because it is in the original does not have a good reason makes you smoke.

DeleteI agree with your opinion, Mohammed. Smokers should have the will to acknowledge that smoking is a mental problem. This is not correct to explain that smoking is only by objective factors. If smoking causes only objective factors (and objective factors - factors that do not depend on the will and desires of the people) that smokers are doomed to smoke forever, and they will never quit. But we know many examples when smokers quit smoking. This is proof that the cause lies in yourself.
DeleteI agree you. Sometime teenagers can follow their friends to smoke. It's just a mental addiction. And the adults smoking because they has their stress. It has a lot of reason to smoke, especially mental problem.
DeleteI think both of physical and mental are influence smoke.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning, you will want to try the new things so try to smoke. And smoke be your dailiness slowly. Sometime will find out that smoke can make more friends who smokes too, and also can show off how well you are. After, smoke be part of your life. It is not only physical needs, but also mental needs. Maybe sometimes your body wants to smoke, but your mind doesn't. Or sometimes your mind wants to smoke and body wants too. Probably, you have a family and have a kid. You will think about you and your family's health. Because passive smoking is worst than smoker. That is your mental to chose the best to stop smoking.
Final, all kind of thing will possible. Start of mind than body, both of them can not separate. So I think smoking is not only a physical but also a mental. It is all depend on you.

ReplyDeleteIn the world have many people smoking.And I think the long-term smoking can cause the body and mental bigger addiction.For example,it can cause lung cancer, premature aging, Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, secondhand smoke, and have bad breath.My father is smoking 25 years.He really have those problem.I don't like smoking because it is so harmful to the body.So we can't smoke because we will be no healthy and we have cancer.By the way, if you or your friend,family have smoking you need talk they should stop smoking.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, smoking is addiction both physical and mental. First, in physical there is habit during many years it will became a habit, etc. some smoker they don’t smoke because they fill want to smoke, because the hand use to take a cigarette from packet. Second, in mental there are many nerves in the brain of human and the some of nerves are have a certain amount of (NICOTIN), and the cigarette also certain amount of Nicotin. When you smoke you will use Nicotin of the cigarette that mean the brain will stop excreted the Nicotin. After that, during a years of smoking the brain need more Nicotin. Because that the smoker if it stop smoke he fill bad, stress, and angry all the time. Finally I know the smoking it really bad for health and also bad habit.
ReplyDeleteHi Hisham,
DeleteI agree with you when you said that the smoke is a habit because this fully truth. And I disagree the idea of the smoker getting angry when he stop smoking because am a smoker guy and when I stop smoking for a while I don't feel angry or stress.
have a good day

DeleteHi Hisham
DeleteI disagree with you because:
I don't think there are two types of addiction. I think there is one type of addiction, a mental addiction because the reason for the need of nicotine
From my point of view I give 80% for smoking mental affect and the rest of it is physical addiction.First,when we think about smoke we found our body do not really need a cigarette as much as our thinking and feeling.Personally I would say as a smoker who had a lot frying to quit smoking I analyzed that my mind give in or in order to smoke especially when I been away from it for a while or when I have or had a lot of pressures and the other smokers as well.The physical affect is just 20% because it just will be in the first two weeks or a month at the most and than it won't be any smoke physical addiction in the other hand the mental affect still giving in order to smoke up to ten years or over than ten years of it is not solved from the beginning.For instance,one of my old friends who did quit smoking for a ten years and unfortunately he back to it.The scientists discovered that the body of the human gets out all of the smoke damage and the body is going to be as anybody that hasn't smoked be for.So it really a mental problem more thin it is a physical affection if it takes longer.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion Smoking is a phenomenon that has spread in many countries of the world, and circle around the world have this phenomenon to include millions of individuals from different social levels and all ages.smoking is harmful to health and the environment in general. Smoking is a human inhale toxins into his lungs causing him a group of diseases cancer killer body.Smoking is the largest epidemic swept the globe over time.Smoking causes of falling into the indifference of the consequences of smoking.Finally, the person smoked offend the community and detrimental to both the sitting and its owner.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think of smoking is that it's both a mental and physical addiction. What it's meant by mental, is you would always need a cigarette when you are stressed about something such as work or studying. and it can be a habit. The physical addiction is that your body get's addicted to nicotine, so your body give's signals to you mind when it needs nicotine.
ReplyDeleteYou are very careful in expressing his opinion. I'm afraid to be categorical but the argument that the smoker needs nicotine - unproven fact. There is no authoritative scientific institution, which would show the evidence of biological depending of human from smoking. I'm sorry, I respect your opinion but can't agree with it.
DeleteI think that smoking mental addiction is a result of the community that you live in. Because that when I work in the street i saw a lot of people smoke in the street. Also if you smoker and you wake up in the morning your mind need cigarette. so you can't stop smoke because your mind control your body. some people smoke in first time to just try it and then, they can't stop.
ReplyDeleteHi Faisal,
DeleteI like your opinion about the smoking is a community effect. And in my opinion it's also physical addiction because it's effect the blood in the human body in many ways.

Deletesome people smoke in first time to just try it and then, they can't stop.(when any one smoke in first time it's not going to help them somking again.Accept if they want to smoking again)

DeleteHi, Faisal,
DeleteI agree with you, because some people are the first try,
then addiction.
I think that smoking is a mental addiction because the smoker could not stay away from cigarettes, because cigarettes made up of nicotine and nicotine is the main reason for the addiction to smoking. If the smoker away from smoking occur several problems of anger, anxiety, and headache to know the reasons for this mental addiction

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion,smoking is physical addiction. Because the smoke Contains nicotine.When this nicotine goes inside a body.The body has to need it again ,but not from frist time. I would say from third time. Also,When the smokers wants to quit isn't as possible as they are thinking,but is so hard to guit it. Because their body has alot of nicotines.When their body doesn't have enough nicotine.They are going to feel dizzy,and nervous.Also,they are going to have bad headache.Finally,I would say that's why the smoke is physical addiction not a mental.

Hi Saud
DeleteI disagree with you !
For example, the smoker if decides quit the smoking I think he/she can do it alone without go to hospital this is proof the smoke is not physical addiction but is a mental addiction.
Thanks
Hi saud,
DeleteIdisagree with you.
You are tolking about mental addiction ont phsical.
the nicotin in the brian.
Hi my bro I respect your outlook.However,I disagree with it because if we looked at it very carefully we would find that person brain is control center so how come that smoking is just physical addiction.
DeleteHi saud,
DeleteI disagree with you.
Because, I think smoking is a kind of mind addiction.
Thank you.
Hi Saud,
DeleteI disagree you. I think you could smoke just when you were sad or followed your friends to smoke. It a mental addiction If you without these reason, I think you didn't have any reason to smoke.
Hi Saud,
DeleteI disagree with you, because I think to want to quit smoking, doesn't have any reason to affect you.
I think smoke is kind of a mind spirit and also a physical addiction. In mind, because you will feel release your pleasure when you’re spitting breath. Maybe it is good for smoke people but is really hurt your body. It is not good for your health. There are a few ways to relax, such as reading books, listening to music, go hiking, doing exercise, etc. And in physical addition, I think it will keep your body warm for smoker. If the weather is cold, smoker will smoke more cigarettes. Finally, smoke is not good for health, but it all up to smoker.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I think smoking is a mental addiction. Because I have ever heard someone told me that he can smoke but he doesn’t like to smoke. Just when he felt upset or fret, he smokes. I think a tobacco leaf has some composition let people relax. And smoking is a way to relieve pressures. So many people when they felt irritability they smoke. However smoking is not a good way to relieve pressures. You can do anything else like doing some exercise or listening to some music. Addicted to smoke is not a good hobby.
ReplyDeleteHi Yu lenia
DeleteI agree with you
For example, the people believe that smoking is a solution to their problems, and the students believe that smoking helps them study and focus more.
Thanks
Hello Yu Lenia
DeleteI agree with you.

If you a smoker, do exercise or listening to some music are good advice.
Thank you.

ReplyDeleteThere many people of smoking in the world. I think, smoking is harmful to health. In some newspapers, smoking has proved to be closely linked to many of the most fatal diseases such as cancer, heart problems, and lung diseases. We are even informed that cigarette smoking may affect not only the smokers, but also the non-smokers.Statistical information show us smoking takes the lives of millions of people in the world every year. All these lead us to believe that smoking does kill. So, we can’t smoke because that will let you unhealthy. If you have smoking friend, you should stop them to keep smoking.
ReplyDeleteHI Chen, I agree with you smoking is harmful to health as proved newspapers and advised doctors about taking off and that we should to advise our friends of the damage smoking.
