stop smoking or regret it..

Smoking is often not just a habit but an addiction. It is easy to become dependent on tobacco products and be controlled by cravings for them, more so if you are a young person. However, with persistence and professional help, a smoker can overcome this addiction.

Dire warning to all adolescents: You can get “hooked from the first cigarette.”

What causes the addiction?

All tobacco products contain nicotine, a substance which is as addictive as heroin and cocaine. When a smoker takes in a puff, the nicotine hits the brain in 10 seconds and brings about a sudden release of glucose, and increases blood pressure, respiration and heart rate. These effects are caused by the drug's stimulation of the adrenal glands which releases adrenaline into the bloodstream. Over time, this leaves the smoker's body and mind craving for more nicotine, and if the levels of nicotine are not maintained, a smoker will experience withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, frustration and anxiety. As a result, a smoker finds it very difficult to simply stop using the tobacco product.

        The younger one is when he starts smoking, the harder it is to quit later. There has also been recent scientific evidence that shows that just one cigarette is enough to get a person addicted to nicotine.

        Nicotine is not only found in tobacco products that are smoked like cigarettes, cigars and shisha; smokeless tobacco products such as snus, snuff, and betel quid also contain nicotine.

Are you addicted to nicotine?

Even a small amount of tobacco can quickly lead to nicotine dependence.

Some of the symptoms include:

1.   You tried to stop smoking but you cannot. You have made serious, but unsuccessful attempts to kick the habit.

2.   You experience withdrawal symptoms when you go "cold turkey". You experience strong cravings for tobacco products, anxiety, irritability,     restlessness, difficulty in concentrating, depressed mood, frustration, anger, increased hunger, insomnia, constipation or diarrhea when you attempt to stop smoking.

3.   You cannot stop smoking despite having health problems.

4.    You give up social or recreational activities in order to smoke. You may stop or avoid social situations where you cannot smoke.

Anime Addiction??

The word anime is the pronunciation of animation in Japanese where this term references to  all animation which is defined as animation from Japan or as Japanese-disseminated animation style.

Here’s story about a boy who is addicted with anime.

     It started when he was six. Like any other boy, he is an introvert and misfit kid. He could not adapt to his surrounding and sometimes people called him a freak because of his attitude. When people don’t want to be his friends, he started to be alone. He always skips school and quarantine himself in his room, watching animation because Anime became the latest trend for all teenagers in his school and having a good storyline that makes the students hook up. He falls in love with its cool animation, which has a vibrant colour and very fascinating every time he watch a single episode. When he got hooks up with it, he starts to behave like one. He considers himself as the character of his favourite anime. He willing to spend his money buying CD, manga, action figure and much more. He even tried cosplaying himself with his favourite Anime characters. His parents also aware about his problem but they leave him be like that because they thought it just his hobby.

      This Anime addiction affects his potential behaviour problems, which cause him to do or follow the anime that he watched that he think will actually happen when he do it. This addiction affects his mind because he so much addicted to that kind of anime. He starts to imagine him and everything else in Anime form and he can't stop watching Anime. He thinks Anime and video games are real and wish it really were. If he not on the computer, he completely bored and his mind is being engulfed in a sea of a being of his creation. The being is a mixture of his sorrow, rejection, desire, and obsession with Anime. And now, it affects his studies by distracting his concentration in class and his academics started to go down drastically. Then he becomes a failure, he doesn’t have anything to help him for his future. Talk about physically, he is not a sporty type. Because of this Anime addiction make him stay indoor than outdoor. Now, he became a failure. Everyone couldn’t help him because of his behaviour who isolate himself.

It not that loving animation is a bad thing. Just control yourself in what we love.

Block defines Internet addiction as a compulsive activity involving excessive use, withdrawal and negative repercussions including social isolation, lying, low achievement and fatigue.

CAUSES OF INTERNET ADDICTION

 For example, online casinos often prove irresistible to people struggling with gambling problems. If a person with a history of problematic gambling is only using the Internet to place bets, it's likely his behavior is just a progression of his existing gambling addiction and not an entirely separate disorder. The same logic would apply to someone with a shopping addiction who can't stop buying items on eBay or a sex addict who spends eight hours each day looking at pornographic websites.
