27 Reasons Why You Should Quit Smoking

 I think most of us know deep down that smoking does not have a positive influence on our lives. However we can forget, so here is a little reminder, 27 good reasons why you should quit smoking.

1) You will significantly reduce your chances of having a heart attack, stroke, or lung cancer. Smokers can and do die younger.

2) You will be able to treat yourself more with the money you save from not smoking.

3) You will have more energy to enjoy life.



4) Your skin, lips and face will look and feel younger. Smoking can speed up the aging process of your skin by narrowing your skin's blood vessels and damaging the tissues that give the skin its strength and elasticity.

5) You will enjoy a better sex life. Smoking can affect your circulation causing less blood flow to the genitals, impairing arousal for both men and women.

6) You will enjoy a better conscience. Many animals are abused testing smoking products. By buying cigarettes you are supporting this.


7) Many people in poorer countries go hungry whilst their fields are full of tobacco crops. There is hunger in this world and your tobacco is grown at the expense of food.

8) You will sleep better. A John Hopkins study shows that nicotine withdrawal throughout the night often hampers sleep.

9) Your teeth will look (and be) healthier and whiter.

10) Enjoy your food more. Smoking hampers the taste buds, making food less tasty.

11) No more yellow fingers.

12) Lower your life insurance bills.

13) Healthier children. Passive smoking in children is well known to greatly increase their chances of getting asthma.

14) Be a good influence to your children. A child of a smoker is twice as likely to become a smoker themselves.





15) Increase fertility. Men who smoke have lower sperm counts and increased abnormalities in the sperm shape and function.

16) You will be more calm. The addiction causes anxiety that is only temporarily relieved by smoking.

17) You can get rid of smoker’s cough.

18) You and your house will smell better.

19) Your breath will smell better.

20) No more burning holes in your clothes and furniture.

21) No more standing outside in the cold to have a quick fix.

22) Pay less tax. A large proportion of the price of cigarettes goes to the tax man. You're contributing way more than you should be doing.

23) Less chance of getting Alzheimer’s disease. Smokers are 5 times more likely than non-smokers to suffer from it.

24) Cigarettes may have been a fashion accessory on the 1950's. But not any more. They are progressively viewed with more disdain as each and every day passes. In Britain in 1948, 82% of the male population smoked. This level dropped to 22% by the year 2007.

25) No more worrying about long flights where you can't smoke.

26) No more worrying about running out of cigarettes.

27) Quit now and your body will immediately begin the healing process, and reverse the damage that has been done. In just 24 hours your blood pressure and pulse will have dropped to normal, decreasing your risk of heart disease. In order to quit smoking you must believe you can do it.
