The dangers of smoking are well known, yet many people continue with this habit. What are the causes of this? How can we reduce smoking in society?

Nowadays, smoking is one of the hazardous habits that humans share around the world. The number of

smokers

increases daily, whereas people have become aware of

this

manner's drastic consequence on the individual's and community's health. In

this

essay, I will declare the main causes of

this

situation, and I will suggest some measures that I believe could reduce the number of

smokers

in societies. There are two paramount reasons for

smokers

’ insistence on holding on to their cigarettes and ignoring their dangers. Smoking is argued to have the power of releasing stress and triggering solutions for life's problems, deterring

smokers

from giving up the manner. Most Egyptian

smokers

,

for instance

, claim that cigarettes are the only method they could use to overcome their daily issues and to give them some relief through their days.

Although

this

leads to the spread of lung cancer among global citizens, consumers insist on continuing

this

manner.

Moreover

, smoking is regarded as a fashionable trend that distributes the elite from the poor in many societies.

This

appears in some rich communities where using cigars and cigarettes is an essential class characteristic.

Hence

, acknowledging smoking as a psychological treatment and social image carrier exacerbates

this

phenomenon.

Consequently

, to deter

smokers

from continuing to hold on to

this

habit, governments should take some strict measures. Governments should legislate laws that prohibit smoking in public places. Japan,

for example

, has succeeded to ban smoking in restaurants, transportation and bars.

Furthermore

, administrations should impose high taxes on smoking utensils. That would ban middle class and poor

smokers

from allocating most of their fund to

this

habit and would give it a chance to launch specific awareness campaigns to a specific social class to raise awareness against

this

trend. In a word, the solution to decrease the number of Nicotine users in a society is in the hands of the administration. In conclusion, the problem of Nicotine consumption is exacerbating due to the arrogance of the human race to believe in science and the fake belief in

this

matter's ability to control their life's psychological and social status despite its well-known dangers.

Thus

, governments should exert remarkable efforts to prevent their citizens to buy

this

hazardous product.
