Myth- Smoking is not a drug problem.

Smoking is a drug problem because if u smoke once just like if you use a drug once it has a high chance of becoming addicting.So if you dont smoke at all then you do not even have to worry abouct it becomig addicting. So people know it but they still do it and then they have trouble quitting.
Myth- only adults smoke cigarettes.
Not only adults smoke because most people start smoking in their teens.And back in the day babies could smoke and now a days teen are illegally buying it from drug dealers
Myth- Once you are addicted to tobacco,there is no use in trying to quit using. The damage is done.
No because if u try about five times to quit you could be able to stop fully and lose any possible diseases from smoke after 10-15 years. and after a week you could stop having temptations.
Myth- Smoking helps my body relax.
That is not true because nicotine is a stimulant which speeds up the body instead of slowing it down. so you are doing the opposite of what you were trying to do by smoking which will keep you up longer.
Myth- Smoking will help me lose weight or I will gain weight of I quit smoking.
That is not true because 1 third lose weight, 1 third gain and, 1 third stay the same from smoking so u could do all so to avoid it do not and you could avoid them all. If you do not even want to risk it then then i would not recommend it but people still do it.
