Hello Sir,

My problem title is "Measurement of Cigarette Smoking Attitude Inventory or Scale."

My research work title is "Personality and Attitude of Cigarette Smoking among College Students: A Survey of College Students' Smoking Habits, Personality Factors, and Cigarette Smoking Attitudes."

Personality measurement scales are available, but a cigarette smoking attitude inventory is not available. Therefore, please provide the procedure or link to download the scale developed by the W.H.O.

Thank you.

Alphonse,

With regard to any habit, a person first develops a thought to give it a "try." Then, when the person further develops that thought positively, they act upon it. The satisfaction derived from that action leads to the repetition of the action, eventually forming a habit. In a way, the person unwittingly trains the mind to accept the habit. Subsequently, the mind takes control over the person, resulting in the person becoming a victim of the very deed they initially tried. When the person truly desires to break free from the habit due to its detrimental effects, the mind engages in its own deceptive game, providing numerous reasons to maintain the habit.

Unless the individual harbors a sense of guilt and willpower to eliminate the habit, their efforts may go unheard. This insight stems from my experience as a Psychological Counselor. I presume you may be a secondary smoker. I appreciate your concern for our friend.

Regards,

I think habit is the most satisfactory way for a person. The main thing is that it provides relief from a lot of pressures and tensions. Another aspect is that it has become fashionable among the youth aged between 20 to 24. This age group is attracted to anything that starts as a style and later turns into an addiction, especially after understanding the responsibilities in our society. This is how, under the influence of cigarettes, youth's lives can fall apart.

Dear Youngster (Kishore),

I would like to offer some suggestions to you (not advice). What you said above is absolutely right - that habit is the best satisfactory way for humans, and I agree. By engaging in good habits such as reading books, playing games, listening to music, practicing yoga, doing exercises, participating in devotional activities, and browsing the internet, you can reduce a lot of pressures and tensions in your life.

Many well-known personalities, such as great actors, cricket players, musicians, speakers, and businessmen, use their good habits to alleviate tension in their lives. Therefore, small, negative habits that are unappealing cannot add value to a person's life. This realization is often observed and experienced by many individuals throughout their lives.

Kindly incorporate positive aspects into your daily life.

All the best,

Yes, sir. What you said is absolutely correct, and I will somewhat satisfy from your answer. However, habits like reading, listening, and yoga are good habits that don't come as easily as a habit like smoking cigars. What I am saying is, in the world, bad habits pass into the human nervous system very quickly compared to good habits. We have to adapt good habits, whereas bad habits tend to attract us. People tend to give more importance to attraction rather than adaptation.
