One of my close friend had complained that smoking smells so bad and is unhealthy, and then he is addicted to cigars. The other friend who wants to quit never quits. Then, my lovely brother sometimes smokes too. I wonder why and how because I had never smoke until I was 25. That's why I want to be in thier shoes.
I want to know how attractive smoking is and why they can't resist it.
Obviously, I didn't like smoking. I have tried smoking several times, different flavors, and I can't fall in love with it. But, somehow, I know how my friends felt,. There are many reasons for smoking, but most people start with a try, and then a try becomes an addiction.
Many friends of mine claimed that they have tried smoking when they were really young, like around middle or high school ages. They tried it for curiosity. Later, when they encounter difficulties in life, they suddenly have a desire to have a cigar. They often say that they feel relax when they are watching the smoke rising slowly. Some friends just need a nicotine break for waking them up.
Nicotine is a substance in tobacco and keep people awake.
Some friends told me that It is hard to avoid peer pressure or be socialized especially when you are with friends who smoke. At least, in business, some people have to learn how to smoke and drink to shorten the distance between thier targeted customers and themselves. Moreover, like my friend's example, his boss handed him a cigar box, he didn't smoke very often, but he took one and smoke. He said that he felt like he should smoke in that occasion. Or like the plot in Lust Caution, being an actor or actoress sometimes does need to smoke.
After I was in thier shoes, I understood that they would never know whether they will start smoking or not. Once they start and addicted to it, they have difficult in quitting.
In someone's shoes: to think under someone's situation.
