There is no doubt that smoking injures the health and it would be a wonderful world if nobody smoked: cleaner and safer. All the NHS money that now goes on smoking-related diseases could go into other areas of medicine. Smoking is a pernicious addiction because it both calms and stimulates the nervous system. It is possibly because of this, and also the masked allergy factor, that some people find giving up so difficult. (A hidden or masked allergy can happen with any substance which is taken into the body daily; when the body is denied the substance the symptoms appear. This is explained fully in A Little Bit of What You Fancy by Dr Richard Mackarness, published by Pan.)
Why Some People Fail Repeatedly
Some people give up smoking without any problems at all; they just stop. Others crave cigarettes and feel they don’t know what to do with their hands, but can distract themselves with a cup of coffee, eating sweets or doing something active. These two groups often scorn the person who fails again and again to give up the awful weed, and proclaim loudly that it is just a matter of will-power. Will-power certainly comes into it, and for those who do not suffer physical or psychological symptoms perhaps it is all that is needed to stop; but for the physically addicted/allergic smoker, there is a lot more to it – lack of will-power or weakness cannot be the cause of swollen joints, skin problems, and so on.
