Quitting smoking is not easy, especially if you’ve been smoking for years. But it is something worth doing even if you are not a young man or woman. Quitting smoking has so many benefits to it, and I’ll do my hardest to convince you in this article that it is worth doing, though it is a hard choice. Shell we begin?
Reason number one: You will look younger. People who smoke look older than those who don’t. It’s a fact. People who smoke got nicotine stains on their teeth and fingers, their skin looks older, their voice is different and their general physical condition is poor. Stopping smoking will knock off 10 years of your age. Just look at 65 year olds that smoked for years, and compare them with others of the same age who don’t smoke. The differences are huge. Don’t wait till you’re 65 – quit now and you WILL look younger and better at all ages.
Reason number two – You will be healthier. Smoking promotes disease. There are dozens of cancers, vascular disease, heart diseases and lung diseases that smokers suffer from. The chances for getting lung cancer is 20 times higher for a heavy smoker compared to non-smokers. Smoking is simply a very un-healthy habit.
Reason number three – You will save money. Smoking is an expensive habit, too. If you smoke 2 packs of cigarettes every day, the monthly expense could amount to hundreds of dollars. If you invest the same amount in a saving account, you could go on a fantastic vacation, every year from the money you saved.
Reason number four – You will be less dependent on external relaxation. Many people use cigarettes as a means to relax and deal with pressure. Most people who stop smoking, learn how to deal with stress in other ways. This is a very useful and growing experience by itself.
Reason number five – you will smell better – smokers smell bad. The cigarettes’ smell is noticeable, and their hair, cloths, skin and breath smell like cigarettes. When you quit smoking, the smell starts to weaken, until if is completely gone. Even you can will smell better.
Reason number six – you will be more socially accepted – many places now a days frown at smokers. Bars and restaurants, working spaces and country clubs – all forbid smoking in their area. Smoking is also not acceptable by many people. If you give it up, you will be more welcomed instantly, almost everywhere.
Reason number seven – you will gain control on your own life, and health. Perhaps the most important achievement is to take control on your health. N one else will do that for you.
As you can see, there are many good reasons to quit smoking today. So don’t delay – set a goal to yourself to stop smoking this week, or even today. This will have a great effect on your future.

I need to give my boyfriend a reason to quit smoking, ideas?
I love my boyfriend, but he really needs to quit smoking. It really bothers me, but I want him to have a strong reason to quit for himself, not me or anyone else. Any one have any ideas they’d pass my way?
you arent going to be able to give him an idea that is good enough unless he really wants to quit for himself. so it’s really a waste of time.

Tell him you wont kiss/touch him if he doesnt quit.

Well there is always the simple yet serious health problems associated with smoking that can and will occur. As well as smelling bad.
Other than that it is going to be sort of hard for you to give him a reason to quit for himself… And if he doesn’t want to quit at all then he won’t have a reason for himself and it’s no use.

its expensive. 6 bucks a pack.

I am a 15 year old smoker, so I know thats different then someone who smoked for a long time but my answer is…You Can’t. Like most bad habits smoking is enjoyable, thats why people start. But then when you want to stop its so hard you just accept the fact that you like to smoke and you will always be a smoker. Its just so hard when you try thats what ends up happening you forget about all the reasons you wanted to stop and all you think about is how much you love to smoke.

if your having sex tell him your going to hold out till he quites and actually go through with it. Or any other thing that you may do that he likes just say well until you quite smoking im not doing it. In the end it becomes a test of how much he loves you. If he really did then he would try it.

If you hate smoking. Don’t date smokers. That’s just common sense.
