Most smokers want to give up smoking to take better control of their health. But is that all to it? Let us investigate into the hidden benefits of quitting the habit.
In case you smoke, you must have given serious thought to giving up the smoking habit at least a thousand times. Just about everyone around you including your friends and family must be pushing you to completely kick the habit. With all this pressure, it is no surprise that you are seriously considering bidding your cigarettes adieu. All the same, something holds you back. It is the thought that as many have tried before you and failed miserably, why should you succeed.
If this is your excuse, this article is a must read for you. Although it is true that a lot of people have tried and failed to quit smoking, the main reason for their failure is that they did not have a strong enough reason to quit smoking. Look at it like this. Nicotine is an extremely addictive substance which makes the brain experience a false sense of euphoria. When under the influence of this powerful drug, how can one think of unimportant things such as health? Everybody is an eternal optimist. Diseases affect others, never us. This is how most of us tend to think.
That is one major reason why a person can never be threatened on the basis of health. With every fag they take, they are killing themselves. But they never realize that they are just a step away from all the diseases that are mentioned.
Warning a smoker about health risks is like breaking your head against a wall - there will be no effect on the wall. Indeed, every cigarette pack contains a statutory warning about it, but in my knowledge it has not deterred any smoker from lighting up a cigarette.
So a different approach is called for. The query "Why stop smoking?" needs to be answered in novel ways. You want to quit smoking now. Fine. Instead of thinking about the probable health benefits you may obtain in the future, think in terms of your present life. Is this how you really want to live?
You cannot even run a mile without breathing hard like the big bad wolf. In case you have run before smoking, and you are now running after smoking, you sure will be able to feel the difference. You will not be able to smell even the roses with all the smell of the smoke around you.
Then, have a closer look at yourself in the mirror. See those premature wrinkles on your face? Those darkened lips? And, God bless you if there really are, spots on your tongue and ulcers in your mouth? Smoking causes all of these and more. Smoking may make you look macho (what an erroneous notion!), but it will take away all your good looks and your youth too.
Even if that doesn't work, think about your kids. Now that is one thing that you cannot shut your eyes too. If your smoking were to take you away from earth, who would give them their share of paternal love? Trust me, several smokers have given up the smoking habit, just because they cared for their kids.
So, the next time you ask yourself 'Why stop smoking?' give yourself these answers. I am sure you wouldn't light another cigarette with an easy conscience after that.
