Ah, the joys of a smoke free life.
It feels real good! Oh, whats that? Your a smoker? Smoking is not that bad? ha ha, your funny! how `bout I outline some of the joys of quitting smoking.
I hope you think again when you touch that cigarette.
Breath smells better - Cigarettes causes you to have really horrible breath.
Many will say that kissing a smoker is a lot like kissing an ash tray, and you would not want to know what its like to kiss an ashtray.
Increase of Energy - After awhile, quitting smoking cigarettes, you may feel a boost in energy since cigarette smoke irritates the lungs, this then therefore limits oxygen which limits blood flow.
So you could finally do activities that you weren't capable such as jogging.
Save Money - That's right! You won't spend so much money on cigarette smoke so you will be definitely saving some money.
If on average you spent $5 on a packet of cigarettes a day, you would have been spending $35 a week, or $150 a month on cigarettes, or $1800 a year on cigarettes.
See how much you would have lost on buying those little "Death Sticks".
Sense of Taste comes back - As you would have probably experienced, smoking affects the taste buds.
You would be able to taste food again if you quit smoking.
But this causes some problems such as eating a bit more than what you would normally eat since your taste buds are coming back, so food tastes better.
This can be solved by regular exercising and proper diet.
Decrease the Chance of Pre-Mature Aging - As discussed in increase of Energy about the reduction of blood flow, it can also cause the skin to loose its elasticity, meaning the skin starts to wrinkle.
Chance of Cancer lowers - By quitting smoking, after 10 years, your chance of cancer decreases opposed to someone that is still smoking.
This also goes for other cancers such as mouth, bladder, cervix, throat, etc.
Sense of Smell coming back - your sense of smell will definitely make a come back and you will be able to smell certain scents a smoker could not.
Second hand smoke - As a smoker, when you exhale smoke, you are increasing the chance of near by people of inhaling the smoke which could cause some problems if they had Asthma, this could cause some problems.
Smokers are not "cool" - Who ever said it cool to smoke is a total moron and must be working for Marlboro.
Smoking may make you look "cool" among your peers or you may be the only non smoker, but is it "cool" to face the problems which were mentioned earlier in this article? Those are just a taste of what happens when you quit smoking, there are obviously a whole wide range of other things that can happen which has not been discussed here.
But really, after reading this, doesn't this make you just realize that those cigarettes are depriving you of a better quality life, not to also mention that you probably killed off 10 - 15 years of your life.
But even though you don't die 10 - 15 years earlier, you would still have some really heavy health issues such as cancer when you're at an old age.
