Real-Life Story Of Cigarette Addiction
Let me tell you a story of addiction I experienced when I was young...
There
was this old man who loved smoking "Bicycle" cigarette. I am talking
of early 70s, I don't even know if the cigarette still exists or it had gone
into extinction. The old man became very sick such that he was carried to the
city hospital from his native African village. He was fully taken care of and
the doctor, when the old man was about, told him that he must stop smoking
cigarette or else the cancer he was having might go beyond treatment.
Two
weeks after the old man was discharged, the children and the grand-children
accidentally found him on his farm writhing in pain while clutching his hands
to his chest. At the spot, which is a hidden place on his farm, they found a
lot of cigarette stubs and some new packets of this "Bicycle"
cigarette. best

They
have to carry him to the hospital again and fortunately, one of his son who has
been away to England for further study just arrived. So this son was able to
follow them to the hospital and, as such, developed a rapport with the female
doctor. The doctor implored the son to make sure that he watched the old man
critically. After treatment, he was discharged on the third day and was told to
come back for medical check-up the following week. vape

The
following week, the doctor showed the X-Ray report to the old man's son and
explained that the old man was still smoking the cigarette. At this mention,
the old man swore that he had stop smoking cigarette and called his son as a
witness.
As
a result of the old man's denial, the doctor wisely called the young man aside
and told him to be watching his father critically. Then, he discharged the old
man to go home.
At
that night around 1 a.m., the young man woke up and moved quietly to his
father's door. There, he heard some quiet sound as if someone is humming a
song. Before doing anything, he called other people in the house and they
opened the main door in order to go out and check through the grandpa's window.
There, they saw the window opened with their father's locally-made ash-tray
filled with cigarette stubs on the window sill and the old man majestically
puffing his cigarette away while humming a local song.
The
children were so shocked, afraid and embarrassed that they shouted in unison
"Ha, Papa"; one of the children said "Why? Papa, why are you
doing this?"
You
know what the old man said?! Can you guess what the old devil said in reply!!
The man bravely asked them, shouting "WHY ARE YOU ALL SHOUTING AND LOOKING
AT ME? AM I NOT OLD ENOUGH TO DIE? PLEASE, LET ME ENJOY THE REMAINING PART OF
MY LIFE. I WANT TO DIE HAPPY!" vape

Everyone
became speechless with their mouth wide open!
YES!
That is addiction. Sure, that's ADDICTION for real. The old man couldn't give
up the cigarette despite the fact that it would add more days to his lifespan.
Addicts don't drop the drug easily no matter what, even at the point of death.
They always say "I will stop after taking this one, I won't touch this
'thing' next time" but that 'next time' never comes. That is the real
point.
Though,
a cigarette smoker knows quite well that his action is not good for his well
being, yet he found it extremely hard to control himself.
Smoking
is a true addiction, not just a habit as people often erroneously referred to.
It is a form of addiction that is more powerful than dependence on other hard
drugs such as cocaine, heroin or alcohol! In the whole world, there is no other
drug that is self-administered with the kind of persistence, regularity and
frequency of cigarette smoking. best

According
to research, it was discovered that within a year a cigarette smoker inhales
70,000 to 200,000 individual doses of mainstream smoke from his average of 2-3
packs-per-day. He only needs to take his normal 10 puffs per stick.

SELF-INFLICTED PUNISHMENT?
