Heh the one answer got it right on. ADDICTION. It is extremely hard to stop once you get started. I personally do not smoke, but I know people who try and try to quit and they can't. So this leads to health and financial problems.

yes, it's normal & there's more. You may go through the same stuff that a person who lost a loved one--grief in all it's insidious glory. Food tastes better and we use it to replace the hand to mouth action of smoking. You may have a lack of sex drive--'til you find out how much better/longer you can do it. I'm sure you'll get other ogry details from others who have quit--Congrats--I've been working on a total quit for months now--down to a puff off hubby's here & there.

Yes, it does. The substances in cigarettes affect the body chemistry and brain chemistry, which in turn affects the psyche. For many people, this includes such psychological effects as relaxation, enjoyment, mood elevation, stress reduction, anxiety relief etc. This is one of the reasons it's so hard to quit smoking.

Of course it has side-effects.
Just watch a smoker go crazy when they don't get a smoke on schedule. Smokers reach for a smoke when they're under stress too, because it does calm them down.

Does for me. I kick myself every time I buy a carton knowing I'm killing myself and many better things that money could be used for.
