Signs That You Are A Chain Smoker

Most smokers have a history of smoking that dates back to their adolescent days. Smoking starts as an activity to look cooler in front of the peers, but it gradually becomes a habit that is hard to quit. Chain smokers are of the worst kind of smokers who put themselves at the forefront of their battle against multiple smoking-related diseases and of course, an early death.

If you are into this ugly habit of smoking one cigarette after another and can’t do much about it, you must know that you are dealing with a serious problem.

A study had defined heavy smoking to lighting up 20 or more cigarettes per day or 20 or more packs per year. If you are a smoker, here are some signs that will tell you if you are a chain smoker or not.

People can literally sniff your arrival
Smokers generally have their own brand of smell that lingers around their path of travel. Your friends would be able to literally sniff you out from a crowd by the smell of cigarettes.

Your fingertips are yellow
It isn’t unusual for women to have yellow finger nails because of the excessive use of nail polish. But fingernails grow all your life and you just have to perhaps wait another week to get rid of the yellowish tint on the nails. Stained fingertips with nicotine can be brutally grotesque for someone who is not a chain smoker.

You just hate taking the plane for your trips
You are probably comfortable obliging all the rules of the conformists, but you just cannot agree to take the flight to your favourite destination because you cannot wait longer than a few minutes to open your pack of cigarettes again.

You find yourself looking for the smoking room in a pub even before you find a free lounge area
If you find yourself entering the smoking room, you clearly must know your habits. When it comes to smoking, your priorities are set and no one can really pull you away from them.

You never go out of dough
If you are in the habit of smoking and have the tendency to smoke every second hour, there is a good chance that people will recognise you and come to you for an extra cigarette because you never run out of them.

Your dentist recognises you like no one else
You perhaps do not have a lot of friends among non-smokers and if at all you do, it is your dentist. Also, your dentist loves to acknowledge your presence because he/she has the opportunity to cash in on a lot of funds considering that your teeth refuse to stay the way your dentist leaves them each time.

No one can look inside your car through the windows
This is because the windows are tinted with grime from the cigarettes that you smoked while driving. Because travelling is inevitable, none of the chain smokers have a way out of this problem. The best you could do is rolling your windows down every time you smoke inside the car (read the entire journey).

You have a croaky voice
Whitney Houston had recently found herself struggling to perform at her concert because of a tear in her vocal cords that were ruined beyond repair. And what do you suppose the cause could be for the damage? Excessive smoking.

You look older than your elder siblings
It is possible for one to look older than an elder sibling even without being a smoker. But chain smokers look double their age. This is because of the agenting properties of tobacco.

You have an explanation for your smoking habit
Since you know that quitting at this point is difficult, you have all sorts of excuses for smoking. You try to convince people that smoking is good, when you yourself are aware of its ill-effects.
