Do you need a good reason to quit? Here are ten!
A study by the British Medical Journal shows that each cigarette you smoke reduces your life expectancy by 11 minutes. A pack of 25 cigarettes reduces your life by 4.5 hours!
It is now forbidden to smoke in public spaces, including bars and restaurants and fewer people tolerate smoking in their houses. Do you really want to miss the conversation by going for a puff alone, in the cold?
Think about it - if you are 15 years old and smoke a pack a day, by the time you are 50, you’ll have spent more than $250,000. All you’ll be able to do is look back at all the trips, clothes, and cars that you missed out on because of cigarettes.
Would you hurt your best friends? Of course not. So why expose them to your second-hand smoke? Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals, 50 of which are cancerous.
If this was true, ALL smokers would be thin.
Do you really want to depend on something? Even if at first smoking gives you an impression of freedom, it’s really the opposite that ends up happening! Smoking as few as three cigarettes a week can get you hooked on nicotine.
