REASONS FOR SMOKING
There are two principle reasons for smoking: Identification and Replacement. Identification is when the smoker smokes in because others whom he admires smoke. The smoker wants to be identified with these people – parents, peers, entertainment or sports figures, etc. Identification smoking is the most common and easiest to eliminate.
Replacement smoking occurs when smoking is used to replace some deficit in life- lack of companionship, love, acceptance, self-esteem, security, independence, etc. – or to replace some pre-existing habit such as overeating, reaction to anxiety or boredom, etc. Replacement smokers often derive sensual gratification from smoking – they enjoy touching or feeling the cigarettes, tapping the pack, seeing the flame of a lighter or the curling of rising smoke, or the smell of the burning tobacco. Often the lighting g of the cigarette (or cigar or pipe) in itself becomes a ritual. Replacement smoking is quite often a true and severe addiction.
