A smoker, would probably ask- why to quit smoking? This is natural as every smoker has his/her own reasons for smoking tobacco. Scientific research shows that initially people smoke for pleasure; however, later it leads to addiction and then the habit. Many people smoke to relive their stress or anxiety. Once an individual gets used to smoking at regular intervals, it becomes very hard to control this habit.
