10 Persuasive Reasons For You To Quit Smoking For Good

By: Allen Iser

If you were searching for a wake-up call to get you to quit smoking for good, this is it. I have constructed a listing of the shocking facts on smoking and the influence it may have on your life if you don't quit the habit.

The following are Some Facts to Start off with:

-Worldwide, tobacco usage causes over 5 million deaths per year

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

-Within USA, cigarette smoking is responsible for around one in five deaths annually, or around 438,000 deaths per year

-Current statistics show that tobacco usage will cause more than 8 million deaths yearly by 2030

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

Some More Reasons to Quit Smoking for Good:

-A correlation was found linking smoking and brain damage/premature senility

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

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

-If you smoke, your body will require more rest than a non-smoker. Also, smokers don't sleep as well as non-smokers

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

This is just a small number of the side-effects of smoking. There are many more reasons to stop smoking once and for all. We may know smoking is not healthy, however it helps to stop and look at these points to wake us up to the severity of what we are actually doing to ourselves.

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