Why Quit Smoking

At some point everyone is faced with the question, "Why Quit Smoking?"

For me I did not want it to be a matter of life or death.  I watched my ex-mother-in-law die from cancer from smoking and within a few short months of being diagnosed she was gone. 

It is easy to find health reason after health reason why smoking is bad for you and almost impossible to find a reason that makes smoking beneficial, unless you buy into the lies that smoking helps relieve stress or calms you down.  I used to believe such things but the fact of the matter they are lies.

Smoking is an addiction and a powerful one at that and for some reason we are surrounded by people who seem to think that quitting smoking is all about will power, of course these people are non-smokers.  The addictive nature of nicotine can make it very difficult to quit smoking and the better equipped you are the better your chances of quitting.

So beyond the health aspect of quitting smoking consider the money you will save, getting rid of the yellow fingers, no more smelling bad and trust me smokers do smell bad.  You will see this after you quit, it is amazing what you grow accustom too.  Consider how healthy your loved ones will be by not being around your second-hand smoke.  Food will start tasting better, energy will be more plentiful, the list can go on and on so think about why you want to quit smoking and write them down, keep them close.
