translated from Spanish: Smoking, the habit which becomes deadly

there are well seen habits and others, not so much. Perhaps that is why so-called “usos y costumbres” are peculiar and even unacceptable.
Here an example. Before the time of ultrasound, knowing the sex of a baby was mere game of chance. So the day of delivery, if it was a girl, the father was announced giving chocolates. If it was a male, I gave habanos.
Apparently, the tradition goes back to the customs of the indigenous peoples of the Northwestern United States that granted tobacco sacred and ceremonial value. The father gave the residents of his tribe for seal meat, salmon and tobacco and smoked with them to celebrate the birth of the firstborn male between large scrolls of smoke.
The centuries have passed, and today, eat seal meat is on the border between the cruelty of the hunt and a gourmet dish. Confusion similar to that smokers face as tobacco permeated society for years and was considered a habit “well seen” until the harmful effects caused by the smoke generated by burning health checked.
In the psychoanalytic jargon, experts make substantial differences in habit, habit and addiction. Smoking involves a highly addictive substance, nicotine. This added to the psychology of the smoker involves rituals around a habit that enjoys widespread acceptance in some social groups.
“No there are smoke without Freud”, French psychologist Phillippe Grimbert, tells how the inventor of psychoanalysis was diagnosed with cancer of the jaw and put to agonizing 33 operations, since 1923, never was able to quit completely. Freud referred to his cigarettes as mounting, in Spanish: work tools.
In his book, Grimbert offers an “analysis” of smoking, like so many other studies that exist to understand the personality of smokers. But every smoker should identify what is your personal relationship with the practice that motivates him to light a cigarette. The same Freud did.

Oliver Kershaw, co-founder and CEO of the E-cigarette Summit, an annual Conference in the United Kingdom that seeks to consider alternatives to the traditional cigar, explains that each person’s relationship with nicotine is quite complex.
“It is an issue of personal identity and a pleasurable experience that could be obtained from products other than cigar,” he says after attending the Global Forum of tobacco and nicotine 2018.
“The true potential of new products (to deliver nicotine with less impact to health) is known for 15 years for those who do understand why people smoke. The problem is that consumers still have not understood it”, he says.
So is smoking habit or addiction? It is both, because a dependency to nicotine is generated as a result of smoking. However, unlike what happens with other addictions, this doesn’t kill. What kills is the smoke that is produced when a cigarette burns.

Smoking is a public health issue. Campaigns of health in the field of tobacco have three strands: prevent that new users there are, look for current smokers to stop smoking and protect non-smokers.
In this space are put on the table various approaches and innovative proposals that complement the efforts of health until now existing and put adults who have decided to continue with the consumption of nicotine in the center of the discussion.
If you are worried about your health, do not smoke or use nicotine.
