I'm not judging you I'm a smoker too. But that stuff you just wrote is just an illusion. We are all being brainwashed.

I quit smoking many times, and now certainly see for what it is.
It is a psychological trap. We are addicted. It is a drug. Most powerful in the world and we are hooked.

I'm not living in a illusion. I'm aware that smoking does not do apsolutely for me - none! Paradox is, we smoke to feel exactly like non-smoker does. I'ts a paradox. because, you end up agravation caused by the previous ciggarete after the time of apstinance.

Every time you light a cigarette and you think you enjoyed it, it is not. you just end up the apstinence time caused by not smoking. That's why first cig in the morning with coffee or after a meal looks good. But why others arent?

You are in a perpetual loop. Don't live in the illusion that smoking does things for you. You are an addict. I'm pissed that if you go to a clinic and say I wanna get cleaned they reject you because they value the cigarette like it is not such a problem.

Nicotine killed milions of people. If you smoked for many years and didn't quit you don't know how non-smoker feels. It's like you wear shoes for years 2 sizes smaller, and when you finnaly get of it, you would feel so much better. You think you wouldn't be happy if you do not smoke. That's the main problem.

Because it creates conflict in your head. You wish you could smoke, but on the other hand you know it's bad and you shouldn't.

And you think if you quit you loose a friend. It is all pshycological thing.

Once you remove the brainwashing that cigartetes do something for you, you will se for what it really does.

If you are a smoker your heart rate would be around 80BPM, that is almost double like the heart rate of a non smoker that is around 50-55, athletes 45BPM.

If you calculate the BPM per minute, per hour, per day, week, years... you put enourmous weight on your heart. Plus lungs, kardio, lethargy, energy and all that bullshit.

good post, but break the illusion.

peace ;)
