Smoking has become the most serious issue in the recent times. More and more people and becoming dependent on this life threatening poison that affects our health as much as AIDS and other deadly disease. There are so many methods that promise to help a smoker quit smoking. These methods also bring results by removing the smoking habit from the smoker. But the problem with these methods is, so often they fail to give a permanent solution to this problem.  The reason for this is the methods to do not remove the real cause of smoking. And the fact is as long as people will have the real reasons prevalent, they will keep on surrendering to cigarettes.

One of the major causes why a person starts smoking is the pressure that the society puts on him. There are so many social groups that person has to deal with. These groups include friend, collogues, neighbors who can affect a person great deal. When a non smoker is put in any of these groups with members habituated to smoking, the person will find it almost impossible to control the craving for smoking. And passing some time with these people will surely turn him into a chain smoker. But this is not the only reason for the people to start smoking. There are also quite a few other reasons that can lead a person to make smoking a habit.

There are so many people who have a craving for acceptance and getting attention and being noticed. Many of the non smokers would start smoking just to gain acceptance in a large group that have members most of which are smokers. Some people also take a cigarette and light it up in a party or a social event to grab some attention.

When a non smoker has a friend circle that contains some or many smokers then the non smoker would eventually start smoking instead of feeling left alone. This happens mostly to the teenagers.

Teenagers and adults both have a common idea that smoking makes you feel more dominating. For the teenagers this is a way to express their dominancy over the others as smoking to them, is something that concerns the adults and smoking makes them feel like an adult and makes them feel that they are in control of the situation.

There are so many teenagers out there who has the image of their style icon pasted in their mind and the picture holds the icon along with a cigarette. There are so many style icons that have been shown as a smoker for the sake of some hot shot tobacco company’s advertisement. And the image of a smoker has been misinterpreted as cool and fashionable.

These are some of the main social causes that lead to smoking. We will have to be careful and practical and act smart to avoid smoking.
