Why some people are not able to quit smoking? unaware of danger or addicted or one day all will have to die is the thinking in the minds of smokers.plz clarify  

Cigarettes or tobacco have necotine which is addictive in nature. Due to the addictive nature of the substance, those people who get habituated with smoking could not stop doing so. To give up smoking, the most important requirement is ones willingness ot give up smoking. If the person is determined to give up smoking, he can take up the steps to quit smoking. They are aware of the hazardous affects of smoking but the addictive nature prevents them from quiting it.

Well habit is the second nature. Therefore the people who smoke or drink despite knowing well that what they are in taking might be dangerous to their life, the continue as this has already become their nature. And it is rather difficult to change one's nature. These people never try to realize the actual truth until they fall ill.

People, who smoke undergo certain ordeal under certain circumstances for which they cannot leave smoking.
1. After smoking for days together, they become addicted to it. They cannot leave it easily. Even they cannot sleep well. Smoking becomes their primary take and need.
2. After smoking for a long time, they come to such a stage that at that time they forget about its harmfulness.

They know that smoking is injurious to health which may invite disease.
But the addiction takes them to such a situation that their knowledge about smoking and our discourse becomes a vague proposition.

nearly 54% of smokers are interested to give up smoking.but they cannot. this is called as" dependence" rather more precisely both "psychological and physiological dependence". TOBACCO acts as a tranquiliser.in the begining of its usage its creates a sense of euphoria.but it is a false sense.and after some time again u feel like smoking. so the frequency also increases. in advanced stages our body is so much habituated to tobacco and it is required for us to stay normal ( unlike for sense of well being in the early stages) again the frequency increases to stay normal and much more doses for euphoria( similar mechanisms operate for drug abusers like morphine, cocaine etc..) another important problem is constipation in smokers. for which most of the times they need a cigarette for defaecation

Well they don't care about their health and they don't have enough confidence on them to stop smoking .And they don't have enough mind power to over come side effects of quitting smoking.

Hope this will help you.
