This topic got me interested because I stopped smoking on 7th September 2009,this after 16 years of puffing,huffing and wheezing. Not to mention the morning cough,rough skin,bad breath,f.u.c.k.e.d up tste buds etc. In my quest to quit,I did some research and I can confidently contribute that our ladies are getting hooked to smoking because of the following;
1. Nicotine has a chemical effect on the brain similar to the one produced after sexual intercourse or when you take cocaine. It's a reward system and the body craves it like crazy.
2. Once addicted to a chemical substance,it is generally agreed that women find it difficult to quit.
3. With women's lib blossoming in Kenya,many upwardly ladies are taking the habit purely to potray an image of indepence and risk-taking. I call it baloney!
4. And finally,youth in its true essence is equally addictive and brazen. So while the older smokers are feeling to experience the consequences of their hedonistic choices the younger girls feel they are mature enough to indulge.
I am now 80 days bila nicotine and though I had added 8 lbs,I will not trade my new found freedom with anything.
