Does smoking have to be considered the only bad behaviour?

     Many people say that there are no benefits to smoke at all.  It can cause several kinds of cancers or makes other people get injured through the second-hand smoking.  However, I do not think there are only bad effects on smoking.  Certainly, there must be some reasons the cigarettes have existed for a long time.
     First of all, smoking can reduce stress.  The mind controlls the body.  I know there are many sorts of ways to decline the length of stress, but in modern society, people work a lot and need to move on as fast as they can.  Therefore, people have no enough time for doing activites to decrease their mental stress.  That is why people have found smoking out as a fast way to make the stress less.  Just in less five minutes, people can become relaxed through smoking, only five minutes are enough makes people take a rest without thinking any their burden work.  Another thing is that smoking is not only the reason for causing cancers or deseases.  Even if we take too much Vitamines, it can also cause other serious illnesses.  No matter it is good for health, if it overflows it must be worse than lack.  Also, some doctors say that if smokers take vitamine C, B1 and A, it must be helpful, because during smoking the smokers' digestive organs cannot affect properly as sorbents vitamines or minerals.  Some people who have smoked for many decades use to live for a long time.  Thus, with taking Vitamines or Minerals, smoking would not be too dangerous behaviour as much as people think.  The last thing is about the second-hand smoking.  Nowadays many buildings and other places are seperated smoking area and non-smoking area.  Most of smokers tend to smoke in the smoking area, but small minority people do not follow the rule.  However, only because of the very slim amount of smokers who smoke in non-smoking area, do the other smokers need to be blamed?  Do you really think like that?  It is really ridiculous.  Just following the rule and smoking in an appropriate plce do not give bad effects on non-smokers at all.  They try their best not to give bad effets on the others.
     In conclusion, smoking is surely not good for health but with doing another efforts to keep the body condition is alright, it should not be too injourious much.  Smoking or non-smoking is the person's choice.  However, people do not need to stand not to smoke only keep thinking of how many cigarettes you will smoke a day, how maintain the health condition good and how do not give others bad effets.  You just live once then just do it whatever you want to do without causing others any harm.
