10 Hefty Reasons To Help You Quit Smoking For Good

By:


If you were hoping for a wake-up call to push you to quit smoking for good, here it is. I've created a list of the cold hard facts on smoking as well as the repercussion it may have on your life if you do not break free from the habit.

The following are Some Sobering Statistics to Start Things Off:

-Within U.S., cigarette smoking is responsible for about 1/5 deaths a year, or about 438,000 deaths annually

-Cigarette smoking is the most preventable cause of death in the U.S.

-Recent statistics show that cigarette usage will cause more than 8 million deaths annually by 2030

-Around the World, cigarette usage is the cause of over 5 million deaths a year


There is no question smoking is a killer. On average, those who smoke die 13-14 years younger than nonsmokers! That equates to 12 to 14 minutes taken from your life with each cigarette! Each and every one of those cigarettes you smoke is bringing you closer and closer to an early death.


A Few Additional Reasons to Quit Smoking for Good:

-Smokers find they are sick more frequently than non-smokers. a smoker is absent 7 1/2 work days per year compared to 4 1/2 for the non-smoker

-Food doesn't taste as good for smokers. When a smoker's nasal passage is under the effects of the myriad of chemical compounds found in cigarettes their ability to savor many tastes or aromas is lessened.

-A link has been discovered between smoking and brain damage/premature senility

-If you smoke, your body will need more rest than a non-smoker. Additionally, smokers do not sleep as sound as non-smokers

-Smoking makes you more moody and argumentative, mostly due to subconscious understanding of the prior points


This is just a sampling of a much bigger list of issues. There are many more reasons to stop smoking once and for all. You may realize smoking is not healthy, but it helps to stop and look at all these facts to wake us up to the reality of what we are actually doing to ourselves.

I Hope this article has made you think a bit and gave you some insight into how smoking is negatively impacting your health. It is never too late to make a change...to quit smoking for good.
