Why You Should Quit Smoking?

If you like smoking, then you know that it’s very difficult to convince yourself of the need to quit smoking. But we assure you, there are just so many reasons why you have to quit smoking. So before we proceed with helpful tips to quit smoking, let’s enumerate the benefits that you’ll enjoy once you quit smoking. Why don’t we concentrate on the lighter side first? People who smoke tend to have bad breath and yellow teeth. Once you quit smoking however, you’ll never have to restrain yourself with a slight smile – one that doesn’t show your teeth to your disadvantage, that is. And you don’t have to worry anymore if you’re going to turn your date off with your wonderfully stale breath! The second advantage that you’ll enjoy once you quit smoking is that most people would tend to have a better impression of you. Nowadays, only a few people are untouched by nicotine addiction and if you’re not into smoking, people would tend to think that you’re a disciplined and reliable person. But those are just the lighter side of things. Let’s concentrate next on the cold hard facts. Once you quit smoking, changes could start happening in your life in just twenty minutes. In less than half an hour, your heartbeat immediately drops – and by the way that’s a good thing because when you smoke, your heart rate is higher than normal. In half a day, the carbon monoxide level in your body goes back to normal as well. In two to twelve weeks, you’ll enjoy even more health-related benefits such as improved circulation and increased lung function. In nine months at most, you’ll be in possession of cleaner and better lungs and the tendency to cough will greatly decrease. Lastly, you’ll also feel that you’re not as short of breath as you used to be. One year after your decision to quit smoking, your excess risk of having a heart coronary disease is already 50% less of a smoker’s. In as early as five years after your decision to quit smoking, the chances that you’ll have a stroke is already equal to that of a non-smoker. In as early as a decade, the probability that you’ll die of lung cancer – which is the fate of most people who don’t want to quit smoking – is half of a continuing smoker already! And in fifteen years’ time, the likelihood that you’ll experience heart coronary disease – one of the most serious risks that all chain smokers face – is that of a non-smoker’s.
