Why Do People Take Up Smoking In The First Place? A Disgusting Habit That Kills...

Is it Worth Smoking? Here are 10 Reasons for Picking the Habit Up:
 

- A sudden rise of energy level to combat stress, stretch and strain of our daily schedule

 

- A concentration pill

 

- To overcome frustration due to the indomitable desire of achieving the very best even beyond our limits

 

- To bridge the gap between our desired aspirations and hard core reality

- A style in the society

Tragically this habit that starts as a style spreads its roots from an age when most people just begin to give shape to their dreams, ambitions and careers. This ‘style becomes killer’ tip toeing on the sands of time snuffing out lives leaving behind in its trail more than 5 million years of potential life lost every year the world over.
