It might seem to be a good idea to quit smoking. But you might need some actual reasons why to do it.
Some benefits are very obvious. The clothes and the house will smell better, and if you normally smoke in the car, it will also be nicer to drive without the smell of the cigarettes. But there better reasons to quit the cigarettes. Things like better health and more money is probably counting more than the smell.
You can save a lot of money if you quit the cigarettes. On pack a day can easily save you $35 a week, $150 a month and $1,825 a year. So if you really want to save some money, be honest and calculate how much it cost you to smoke the number of cigarettes, you are smoking today.
While the money is obviously nice to save, there are huge benefits to your health as well. For example, research tells us that as little as 20 minutes after you stop smoking you will be able to see a difference in your health.
If you stop smoking you can improve your health by reducing the risk of breathing complications, lung cancer, high blood pressure, heart problems and stroke. Research has shown that only a short period after the last cigarette many of the harmful effects that smoking has caused will start to reverse; even if you are a long time smoker.
If you quit for just a period of 5 years the risk of a stroke is the same as for someone who have never smoked. If you continue to smoke the risk will be at least the double
And the improvements continue. 15 years after the last cigarette the risk of coronary heart disease is not higher than for non-smokers. It might seem long time to wait for those small steps; but you can be sure that it gives you a significant improvement of your life.
So no matter if you look at the money or the health, there is many reasons to stop quitting. And before you start the better are the benefits.

Lately, when I’ve been interviewed about smoking cessation, the host will usually ask, “Isn’t nicotine addiction the reason most people are not able to successfully quit smoking?” They are surprised when I tell them nicotine is not a real addictive substance because it doesn’t have the characteristics of an addictive substance. The drive or compulsion to smoke cigarettes is strictly psychological.
Other people wont give them up cause they think they will put on huge amounts of weight. Even when people quit smoking for a week or two, they give up one addiction and start with another one. Usually people go on an eating buzz, believe me its better eating more than smoking more. You will have more energy, and live a longer life if you just quit them smokes.
In this article, I will discuss the dynamics of true physical addiction. You will see that nicotine doesn’t fit in this category. In part 2 of this article, I will discuss more specifics that demonstrate how nicotine is not a true addictive substance and how the Psychological Smoking Mechanism is the real power behind smoking.
With modern medicine today, injuries are quickly and effectively treated. However, although the mechanical damage has been repaired, the healing process, which only the body can do, has not yet taken place. To make things easier on ourselves, we take pain medicine. After all, we know we are injured and it’s been treated, we don’t need to be reminded with unpleasant pain.
How about taking a few lessons on what lung cancer looks like? I’d bet if you could see what the long-term effects of smoking can do to you, you can convince yourself it is not what you want. Give it a shot, will you. And if it does not work, then we can try something else. The earlier you quit smoking, the better for you. If you are having problems kicking the habit, try using an electronic cigarette which many people have found success using.
