I Want To Quit Smoking…But How?
How Can I Quit Smoking?
If you are about to quit smoking, do you know what to do to battle the urge to smoke another cigarette? Do you know the reasons that cause you to light up a cigarette? If you are still smoking, you need to ask yourself, “Am I ready to quit the smoking and can I be successful in kicking the habit?’
There are two factors that will help you kick your smoking habit:
1. You must have the desire to give up smoking.
2. You must have the self-assurance to know that you can do it.
Of course it’s possible to get motivated to quit, yet you may fall short for a variety of reasons. Quitting smoking can be an uncomfortable experience, and cigarettes may have been a “crutch” for you. As a result, it is only natural to think about the ups and downs of quitting smoking. Most people who try to quit, fail to do so and have to try several times before they succeed.
Something you may want to think about is the risks of smoking.
According to health experts, if you do smoke, you will be twelve times more likely to die from lung cancer. Just think about this, it would be very important for you to increase your chances of living from two to twelve times longer, gain many extra years of great health and save thousands of dollars in increased medical costs.
Here are a few more things to think about if you continue to smoke:
• 10 times more likely to die from Cancers of the mouth, throat, and esophagus risks.
• 12 times more likely to die from lung cancer or some form of lung diseases.
• 10 times more likely to die from cancer of the larynx.
• 6 times more likely to die of heart disease.
• And you will be twice as likely to die of a stroke.
Another overlooked benefit is the amount of money saved by not buying cigarettes in the first place. For example; If you smoke one pack of cigarettes a day at $7.00 per pack, you spend $1,820 per year. If your habit has continued for a period of 15 years you will have spent an incredible $27,300! If you smoke two packs for that same period of time, you will spend $54,600!
Does this help you with your quest of a smoke free life? Be sure to check for tip on the best way possible to give up smoking forever!
