Good Reasons to Stop Smoking

Are you a smoker? Did you ever think of quitting? Come on, be honest! Exactly how many times did you try to stop? Let’s talk about it, and I’ll try to give you some valid reasons why you should really give up smoking for good.

Shall we start with the most important – health? I believe, you have heard a lot about terrible influence of smoking on human body. You must be aware of possible hypertension, heart attack, stroke, because nicotine narrows blood vessels and enlarges a number of blood clots.

Different forms of cancer are associated with smoking: lung cancer first of all (statistics says that 90% of male and 80% of female smokers are vulnerable to it); kidneys, stomach, pancreas, liver, bladder cancers. Doesn’t it impress you?

Then let’s talk about your sexual life. Of course, it is fine now, so enjoy it, because with a lapse of time it is going to fade away: smoking narrows penis blood vessels, thus making it impossible to experience an erection, so impotence is not far away. Nicotine decreases men and women fertility, but I am sure you want to have children. So it is up to you to choose.

Pregnant women who smoke must get ready to spend long sleepless nights soothing the crying baby. It is a fact that infants of smokers experience more painful colic than those of non-smokers, feel nervous and too excited. To spare your nerves, we will not talk of a prenatal death and a sudden infant death syndrome.

Do you consider yourself clever? Then try to preserve this state – stop smoking. The latter slows mental function, reduces cognitive ability and leads to degeneration. It would be so unpleasant to become an old marasmic at forty, especially if you have a young beautiful husband or wife.

In the case mentioned above not only the mental function but appearance and physical state matter as well. Smoking provokes skin aging, adds wrinkles, paints teeth yellow and damages nails (so important to women). Nicotine decreases muscles and harms immune system, making it difficult to resist different diseases.

Furthermore, if you love passionately your partner, you must also think of his or her health, and even more of that of your children. It is a common knowledge that passive smoking is also very dangerous, as it can be the reason for the development of the lung cancer of non-smokers.

One more reason for quitting smoking is sparing money (sometimes a lot!). Spend it on the sport club or buy a toy for your child which he has dreamt of for a long time. In this case you can catch two rabbits at once: you’ll become a good role model for your kids (young, strong, energetic) and will undoubtedly feel deep sense of satisfaction and self confidence.

If you can win the cigarette-shaped enemy, if you are strong and persistent enough to reach this goal, you will be able to achieve any other aims in your life and make your precious dreams come true.
