y do people smoke?
I am down in the dumps and need some words of encouragement?
Answers:
What I have heard or read is that smoking gives someone something to do with their hands. Also, people like to "see" the smoke and may not enjoy smoking in pitch darkness. Smoking may offer a distraction when someone is nervous calming them down. Few people smoke for any medical benefit and many would quit to save the money except it can become a well-ingrained habit with withdrawal symptoms similar to when someone stops drinking too much coffee. Hollywood promotes smoking by making it look necessary or cool. Be your own judge, its your lungs. Find a picture of a tar-blackened smoker's lung and try to figure why anyone would wish that upon themselves. people who have lost their voice boxes to throat cancer often continue to smoke through the breathing hole in their neck. Go figure. Good luck.

Tobacco has sometimes been reported to have some positive health effects, presumably due to the effects of nicotine on the nervous system. Most notably, some studies have found that patients with Alzheimer's Disease are more likely not to have smoked than the general population, which has been interpreted to suggest that smoking offers some protection against Alzheimers. However, the research in this area is limited and the results are mixed. Some studies show that smoking increases the risk of Alzheimer's Disease. A recent review of the available scientific literature concluded that the apparent decrease in Alzheimer risk may be simply due to the fact that smokers tend to die before reaching the age at which Alzheimer normally occurs. "Differential mortality is always likely to be a problem where there is a need to investigate the effects of smoking in a disorder with very low incidence rates before age 75 years, which is the case of Alzheimer's disease", it stated, noting that smokers are only half as likely as non-smokers to survive to the age of 80. [5]Smoking is more prevalent among the mentally ill than among the general population, and it has been theorized that nicotine may have a calming effect that alleviates some negative symptoms of psychiatric illnesses. This, however, would be a contradiction of the fact that nicotine is a stimulant and can increase feelings of anxiety; the 'calming' effect merely arising from the rather complex nature of tobacco addiction and short-term withdrawal. Other studies have found that smoking is associated with slightly reduced incidence of Parkinson's disease and ulcerative colitis. In women, smoking has been linked to decreased rates of endometriosis, endometrial cancer, development of leiomyomata, and hypertension during pregnancy.
Controversially, smoking can also prevent and in some cases 'cure' asthma as the smoke particulates have a tendency to desensitise the bronchia therefore preventing the onset of bronchiospasms when around allergenic substances or asthmatic attack causing environs. This topic is hotly argued between doctors and laymen alike, having a widespread reputation via word of mouth is the primary basis of the allegations, whilst scientific testing is inconclusive or alternately aligned depending on source
