Hi,
I noticed you’ve asked me to answer two questions - this one is definitely easier to respond to.
Imagine waking up knowing that you’re no longer addicted to anything (I’m making an assumption that nicotine is your only one);
Now, if you travel or get sick, you don’t have to worry about gnawing cravings at the most inopportune moment - like when they’re wheeling you into surgery or if you’re at 10,000 metres;
Pick up your ashtray and take a good, long sniff; no, not so hard that you get butts stuck up each nostril, but that’s what I used to smell like and you still do - now when a smoker’s car pulls up beside me at the lights, I don’t even need to turn my head to know they’re smoking, I can smell it - with both of us having our windows up. Imagine, you can have your sense of smell back to that level - within a month or so of quitting. Cool, huh?
Exercise - after quitting I had the opportunity to do lots of exercise - washing every bit of fabric, wiping the inside & outside of every stick of furniture and washing the ceilings, walls, windows & floors of every room. Trust me, talk about rank-a-rama! Everything reeked! This is where I thanked my lucky stars I have timber floors and NEVER allowed smoking in a my car.
Better health - you can find how quickly your body parts will return to a non-smoking counterpart status on line or in brochures at your G.P.’s surgery. Also, how much longer you’ll live (or perhaps it’ll just seem longer). I’m convinced we women don’t live longer than men, it’s because they hang around under foot after retirement that it seems longer… And at least you might avoid having your back and oesophagus deeply burned by radiation in a vain attempt to save your life from the lung cancer that causes your death six months after diagnosis - dying coughing up blood, like my best pal in the world did in June.
MONEY - you’ll save money each week!!! Not knowing your location, here in Australia a 40-pack of cigarettes costs around $43 AUD - you can do the conversion to your currency if necessary. Imagine then that you smoke 20 a day, so 166 packs a year: 166 x $43 = $7,869.00 nice little amount for a holiday…
and that saving is assuming the price doesn’t increase, which the Australian government mandated that all tobacco products will increase by 2.5% per quarter (or 10% per year).
A few reasons for quitting for you to ponder - please don’t wait until it’s too late to make up your mind.
The saddest words in any language? “It’s too late, now.”
