Five Reasons Why You Should Stop Smoking Now

Here are some important reasons why it is time to quit your smoking habit, right now.

By Dada Vedaprajinananda

If you are reading this article it means that you have already thought about stopping smoking.  The first step in quitting a habit or in changing your life is to take a firm determination or a vow to yourself that you are going to do something.

However, in order to take this first step you have to be convinced that it is the right thing to do. If you need some more reasons why it is time to do something about your smoking habit, here are five things to consider:

1. You can live longer if you stop smoking now

According to a study in the British Medical Journal, quitting smoking now could add 7-10 years to your life.  No one can be sure that he or she will be alive tomorrow. Anything can happen, due to circumstances beyond our control.  Despite this, we should do whatever we can that is within our control to live a long and happy life. You can’t prevent yourself from being injured in an earthquake, but you can prevent yourself from dying due to a smoking related illness.

2. Smoking is no longer cool

Many people begin smoking due to peer pressure or for other social reasons. At one time it was fashionable or “cool” to smoke, but that is no longer so. With study after study confirming the harmful effects of smoking, the tide has turned. It is becoming quite difficult to smoke in public areas and smoking is viewed as a nuisance by the society at large. If you began smoking to be “in”, take a look around and you will see that the times have changed. Keep up with these changes and quit smoking now.

3.  Set a good example for your children or people who look up to you

If you know that becoming a smoker was a mistake, then you should make sure that your children or friends who look up to you do not follow in your footsteps. The best way to teach others is by example.  If your children or family see that mom and dad or their older brother and older sister do not smoke, then they will be less likely to start smoking. So, think about the example you are setting, and do whatever you can to change your life style.

4. Improve your athletic performance

If you like to play sports then you already know that endurance is very important. Smoking interferes with your breathing and your body’s capacity to absorb oxygen. If you want to improve your athletic performance and increase your endurance, then it is time to put down your cigarettes.

5. Don’t pass on smoke and harm others around you

Even if you are the only one who smokes in your house, your smoke is harmful to your non-smoking loved ones. Second-hand smoke has been proven to be the cause of disease in non-smokers and that is the main reason why smoking is now being banned in public places. While the new non-smoking laws will help to protect the public at large, you can protect your closest family and friends by making a personal decision to stop smoking

There are lots more reasons to quit smoking, but just think about these five reasons and make a decision that you are going to do whatever it takes to stop smoking. It could be a decision that will help you to live a long, healthy and happy life.

Quit Smoking Today – Reviewed

As you well know, quitting smoking is one of the hardest things you will ever do in life. I know this as I was in the same boat as you. I was smoking around 40 a day and let’s just say, I wasn’t at my peak of health. I took the kids to the local park one sunny afternoon to have a game of football and after a couple of minutes I was in a heap on the floor. I knew something had to change, I not only owed it to myself but also my kids to get healthier. I decided that was it and I had to quit smoking!

Now I tried using patches and gum but that just didn’t work as I still missed smoking and ended up just going to the store and throwing the medication in the trash. I knew I had to quit but I was weak willed and need help.

I stumbled over this site one night on the internet called Quit Smoking Today. It sounded really good but I was a little sceptical about getting ripped off, as there are so many online scams. I finally made the decision and bought the course. This was the best decision I ever made!

The course was a Neuro-Linguistic-Programming or NLP which is a form of Hypnosis. This was 7 months ago and I have not had a cigarette since. All I did was download and listen to the recording once a day for about a week and I had kicked the dirty habit.

However this is not for everyone was it only works on 97.2% of people but thankfully I was in that majority.

After quitting I found that I had loads of extra cash so I’ve been saving it for the 7 months for a nice family vacation to Florida. If it wasn’t for the Quit Smoking Today Program this would not have been possible.

Final Verdict:

If you were in the same boat as me and are struggling to kick the habit for good, then I recommend you take a look at Quit Smoking Today. It has working wonders for me, along with many others. To improve your health and save loads of cash just check it out here www.quit-smoking-expert.com
