Summary: Smoking


According to Glassman Alexander H. “Cigarette Smoking: Implication for Psychiatric Illness.” American Journal of Psychiatry 150:4 (April 1993): 546-553. In Cecilia M. and Richard A Gray 1995, they establishes the connection of “smoking and smoking quitting”( Cecilia M. and Richard A Gray 1995) related to the most serious problems of depression as well as the effect of depressive disorders and the significance of those human behaviors for psychiatry. The authors explain that smoking is obviously associated with “negative affect” a general idea with respect to “anger, tension and anxiety” (G. Alexander H, p.227). People with high depressive problems would be more likely to start smoking than the rest of the society. (G. Alexander H, p.227). But those who have suffered depression during their lives and became smokers, when trying to stop would suffer of profound depressive behaviors as they fail in the quitting process. (G. Alexander H, p.228). The remedies for this problem is to take “antidepressants” or if these people restart smoking. (G. Alexander H, p.228). Nicotine is the main reason why it is so hard for smokers to quit. (Pomerleau, Ovide F. p234), therefore, when a smokers experiments “stress, anxiety and aggression” (Pomerleau, Ovide F. p236). The answer for that is to smoke. (Pomerleau, Ovide F. p236) However, not all the smokers who try to leave the cigarette have to face a psychiatric disorder. (G. Alexander H, p.228). The habit of smoking is difficult, it begins with a stage of curiosity and little by little the process becomes in addiction. (Haire J, Debra, Glen M, and Edwin B, p.243) Sometimes the habit of smoking is strengthened by advertisements and marketing work.
(Haire J, Debra, Glen M, and Edwin B, p.244). In addition, it is all-important the emotional help that the smoker receives of the people who are close to him/her to quit smoking. (Haire J, Debra, Glen M, and Edwin B, p.245)
