Quit Smoking Painlessly Now!

Having more than one good reason to quit smoking is one of the keys to success. The stronger the “why”, the easier your quest to stop smoking will be.

Here’s some tips to help you find your direction:

1. Health.

Smoking is detrimental to health and it increases your risk for lung cancer and heart-related diseases. Furthermore, smokers are more likely to get sick, or have a cold last longer. Quitting smoking will greatly improve your health.

Also, when you quit, the health of others may improve too.  Second hand smoke (aka passive smoking) is just as bad as smoking yourself, but these people are not choosing to smoke.

2. Children.

You might be smoking but I bet that you would prefer your kids not to smoke. Most smokers smoke because of habit rather than actually enjoying the taste and smell of cigarettes. Children learn from the adults, particularly their parents. So if you puff away, they are more likely to start smoking. They’re also more likely to begin smoking at a tender age because cigarettes are easily accessible in the house. If you have kids, tell yourself to quit smoking for their benefit.

3. Fitness

At some point, people find that smoking cigarettes affects their athletic performance if they are already active. Others find it hard to start an exercise program while they are still smoking. If you quit smoking, the chances that you’ll be able to do better in whatever sport you choose to play is much higher.

4. Money

Just take the cost of one cigarette pack and calculate how much you will spend in a week and in a month. Ask if this amount of money can be better put to use elsewhere.  In this economic downturn, this money saved from smoking can help to pay off some loans or as simple as bringing in extra bacon for the table.

5. Smell

Smoker smell like an ash tray. The smokes are retained in your hair, finger nails, body and even clothes. You couldn’t mask the odour with cologne even.  You may not notice it, but others certainly do.  This could negatively affect your job and personal life, especially if the other people around you are non-smokers.

While your own reasons to quit smoking must be deeply personal, hopefully this list of suggestion has given you some ideas to commence.

If you need help to quit smoking, you can find plenty of self-help books and programs either in the bookstores or online. FYI, recently, I have came across some ex-smokers giving a thumb up to these ..
