Smoking tobacco is now very mon even among teenagers and while administrations in the countries are trying to prohibit smoking on the other side they are also aware about the revenues generated each other through tobacco. Let us have a quick look at the reasons for smoking： Few people smoke as they have an idea of feeling masculine. Nicotine has a characteristic of gripping its patient with constant craving for some more. Social gatherings and meetings have also led to increase in smoking. Alcohol and other addictions also support the character of tobacco in giving high. Few people think that smoking a cigarette gives an impression of being carefree. Few smokes due to their burning emotions of heart break. Smoking habit is also found to be given in inheritance by parents. Some diet losers have caught the idea that smoking burns calories and have shunned the bad effects of smoking from their mind. Ⅱ .Smoking hurts mind as well as body Middle－ aged adults who smoke tended to perform poorly on tests of memory and reasoning pared to non－ smokers， adding to the list of reasons not to smoke， French researchers said on Monday. Analyzing previously collected data on about 5000 British civil servants， the researchers found those who smoked were more likely than people who never smoked to be in the lowest－performing of five groups in tests of memory， reasoning， vocabulary and verbal fluency. Smoking was associated with mental decline in middle age， as it is with dementia and a host of physical ills later in life， they found. “ Smoking in middle age is associated with memory deficit and decline in reasoning abilities， ” concluded Severing Sabina and colleagues from the National Institute of Health and Medical Research in Villejuif， France. Compared to smokers， people who said they had quit cigarettes were more likely to adopt healthier behaviors， such as drinking less alcohol， being more physically active， and eating more fruit and vegetables， Sabina reported in the journal Archives of Internal. The participants were aged 35 to 55 at the beginning of the study， which followed some subjects up to 17 years. The study also demonstrated how difficult it can be to conduct long－ term research on smokers： more than twice as many smokers as non－ smokers refused to take the memory test again or were not able to be re－ tested， in some cases because they died in the interim.
