Article Body:
No one would say that it is easy to stop smoking. But since millions of people have successfully quit
smoking, it simply means that kicking the tobacco habit is not impossible. Quitting smoking does not only make one feel better, it also entails making drastic yet positive changes in one’s life. Putting an end to one’s nicotine addiction will enable a person to have better health, gain savings by no longer spending on cigarettes, enhance social acceptance, and set a good example for the younger generation to follow.
premature wrinkling of the skin, bad breath, yellow fingernails, pregnancy problems (miscarriage or low birth weight), and higher risks of heart attacks, stroke, and clot formation for women who uses oral contraceptives. It really does not matter how long one smoked, but as long as one stops smoking, this will definitely bring benefits to one’s health. In fact, those who stopped smoking before 35 avoid 90 percent of the health risks associated with nicotine and tobacco.
The next thing to consider would be the actual
financial cost of smoking. Smoking is expensive, and the economic cost of smoking is estimated to be about $4,000 a year for an average smoker. Figure out how much a person spends on smoking by multiplying how much money is spent for tobacco each day by 365. Now multiply this by the number of years that a smoker used tobacco. This equals to how much one spends on smoking. Another way would be multiplying the amount spent per year by 10. This will be the cost if one keeps smoking for another ten years. Think of other ways to spend that kind of money. This computation does not even include higher costs of health and life insurance, and the medical costs due to
tobacco-related conditions.
Smoking is less socially acceptable now that it was in the past. In fact, employers nowadays prefer to hire nonsmokers. Some workplaces even restrict
more because they are "out sick" more frequently. Smoking in a building also increases the maintenance costs of keeping cleanliness and odors at an
acceptable level. Landlords, too, may choose not to rent to smokers since maintenance costs and insurance rates may rise when smokers occupy buildings. Friends may ask you not to smoke in their houses or cars. Public buildings, concerts, and even sporting events are largely smoke-free. And more and more communities are restricting smoking in all public places,
including restaurants and bars. In fact, finding a place to smoke nowadays can be quite a hassle. It can be frustrating but that’s only because smoking is an inconvenient habit. It is really much easier to stop smoking than try to change or adapt the
circumstances, things, and people around you to accept smoking.
