    “I’M Self-Destructive – That’S Just Who I Am”

    Many Smokers believe they continue to smoke because of their self-destructive attitude. They actually want to obtain sick. Some say they are afraid of reaching old age. Others arrogantly vow to continue smoking until it kills them.
    While some people do have emotional troubles which lead to self-destructive behavior, I believe most of smokers with this attitude are not in this category. Most make these statements to hide their fears of not being able to give up cigarette smoking.
    The reality is that some people just don't care ample about themselves to give up cigarettes. Unfortunately, some are later diagnosed of having cancer. Others will have heart attacks, strokes or other circulatory conditions. Many would be discovered to have main breathing impairments from emphysema.
    The worst part of this is that not only do these people have a potentially deadly disease; they know that they are responsible for it.
    An equally tragic situation is experienced by the survivors of people who die of smoking associated illnesses. Many ex-smokers go back to smoking via the encouragement of family and friends. This usually happens to someone who is disease free and quits in order to stay healthy.
    Initially they are nervous and crabby. Soon the spouse, kids and others are saying, "If this is what you're like as a nonsmoker, for heaven's sake, smoke!" While it may seem to be a wonderful idea at the time, consider how the relative feels when the smoker gets cancer or has a heart attack and dies. The guilt is tremendous.
    Some beliefs or statements made by smokers sound irrational, as if they have a real death wish. Often, there is really nothing wrong with the person—it is a drug effect. Fear of withdrawal or being not able to cope via life without cigarettes outcomes in a defense mechanism to justify the habit.
