10 Hard-hitting Reasons Why You Should Quit Smoking For Good

By:


If you were hoping for a wake-up call for you to quit smoking for good, you've found it. I have constructed a list of the frightening facts regarding smoking and the repercussion it will have on your life if you don't break free from the habit.

Here are Some Sobering Statistics to Start Things Off:

-Recent trends show that tobacco usage will cause more than 8 million deaths annually by 2030

-Within U.S., cigarette smoking is liable for approx. 1/5 deaths annually, or approx. 438,000 deaths annually

-Around the World, tobacco usage is the cause of more than 5 million deaths a year

-Cigarette smoking is the most preventable cause of death in the United States


There isn't a doubt smoking kills. On average, smokers die 13 to 14 years earlier than nonsmokers! That equates to 12-14 minutes being stripped from your life with every cigarette! Each and every one of those cigarettes you smoke is bringing you closer and closer to an early death.


A Few Other Reasons to Quit Smoking for Good:

-Smoking makes people slightly irritable and argumentative, mostly due to subconscious understanding of the prior mentioned points

-A correlation has been discovered linking smoking and brain damage/premature senility

-If you smoke, your body will need more sleep than a non-smoker. Additionally, smokers don't sleep as sound as non-smokers

-Smokers find themselves sick more often than non-smokers. The average smoker misses 7 1/2 work days a year compared to 4 1/2 for a non-smoker

-Food does not taste as satisfying to smokers. When a smoker's nasal passage is harmed by the effects of the myriad of chemical products found in cigarettes their ability to savor different tastes or aromas is lessened.


This is only a small number of the side-effects of smoking. There are plenty more reasons to quit smoking for good. We may know smoking is not healthy, but it helps to stop and look at these points to wake us up to the reality of what we are actually doing to ourselves.
