Lame Excuses Never Work
It is not easy for anyone to quit a habit quickly. One needs
time and must be granted that duration to help oneself, but what
about those who love to continue with this bad habit and even
make excuses to retain it. It is common among chain smokers to
search for lame excuses. One such excuse is 'Concentration Con'.
A smoker explains that a puff helps him to concentrate. This
excuse does not have any medical base but is just a fake
explanation that renders a chance to the smoker to continue
smoking.
Every habitual person who is in the process of getting rid of
smoking has to face withdrawal symptoms but may not last long.
At times, the person becomes irksome and restless. He takes this
nature as a negative effect and again wants to have a puff to
feel at ease. But when this misconception unveils itself, we
come across a fact that smoking lessens the concentration power
instead of enhancing it. The ease that the smoker feels after
puffing another cigarette is just an effect of nicotine.
Nicotine intoxicates the mind making it relax for a short time.
This way the person feels temporary pleasure and takes smoking
as his best buddy.
Nicotine works in a vicious circle. Its effect goes on
increasing and after some time comes to the same point from
where it has been started showing its black magic. Nicotine
holds a smoker in such a way that he begins craving for more and
more dose. If the smoker does not provide the requisite dose, he
experiences restlessness. There is a vast difference between
concentration power of a smoker and that of a non-smoker. It is
an accepted fact that we derive less pleasure from the things
that we always have. The same happens with a chain smoker. He
goes on puffing and never reaches to a satisfaction level.
Doctors have concluded that cigarettes block arteries and reduce
supply of oxygen to the brain due to which person lacks
concentration. 'Concentration Con' is an outcome of
psychological perceptions of most of the smokers. Those who use
this excuse to shield their smoking need to be familiar with the
underlying truth. Quitting the habit of smoking helps a person
to take out his thinking man out of the smoke that has captured
his mind. Veiling the smoking will not help. One needs to come
forward to escape this habit rather than continuing it with the
help of futile excuses.
