10 Powerful Reasons To Get You To Quit Smoking For Good

If you were hoping for a wake-up call to push you to quit smoking for good, you've found it. I've compiled a listing of the frightening facts regarding smoking as well as the repercussion it will have on your life if you do not quit the habit.

The following are Some Sobering Statistics to Start Things Off:

-Cigarette smoking is the most preventable cause of death in the U.S.

-Worldwide, tobacco usage is the cause of over 5 million deaths a year

-Current trends show that tobacco usage could cause over 8 million deaths yearly by 2030

-Within USA, cigarette smoking is responsible for approx. 1/5 deaths per year, or approx. 438,000 deaths a year

There isn't a question smoking is a killer. On average, smokers die 13 to 14 years earlier than nonsmokers! That translates to 12 to 14 minutes being stripped from your life with each cigarette! Each and every one of those cigarettes you smoke brings you closer and closer to an early death.

Some Additional Reasons to Quit Smoking for Good:

-Food doesn't taste as satisfying to smokers. When a smoker's nasal cavity is harmed by the effects of the myriad of chemical products found in cigarettes their ability to savor many tastes and aromas is reduced.

-If you smoke, your body will require more rest than a non-smoker. Also, smokers do not sleep as well as non-smokers

-Smokers find themselves ill more often than non-smokers. a smoker misses 7 1/2 work days per year compared to 4 1/2 for the non-smoker

-A correlation has been found linking smoking and brain damage/premature senility

-Smoking makes you more irritable and argumentative, mostly due to subconscious knowledge of the earlier mentioned points

This is only touching the tip of the ice-berg. There are plenty more reasons to stop smoking once and for all. You may know smoking is harming us, but it helps to stop and think about all these statistics to wake us up to the reality of what we are actually doing to our bodies.
