There are enough reasons to quit out there for anyone. Take your pick.
Better health
Better breath
More cash in your pocket
Higher self esteem
No running out every time you run out
Living longer for yourself and your family
Having to take smoking breaks all the time
You won't stink, your car won't stink, your house won't stink, your dog etc.
The list can go on forever and ultimately there is only one thing that will make you finally quit.
YOU WILL HAVE TO WANT TO STOP!!
If you are thinking about stopping, don't let anybody sway you against it. Know that it's going to be a bumpy ride but, the paybacks are far greater than you had imagined and the feeling of renewed health is inexplicable. So it doesn't matter how horrible the experience or how long it will finally take to shake the habit for good. Because when you finally make up your mind to quit, when you finally get to the point where enough is enough, you will do what it takes to get to the other side. And the benefits of the other side are great.The benefits of not smoking come to you all the time. The mental and physical changes happened so slowly when you start smoking but come back much quicker. You are going to feel stronger and smarter. You'll look back all of a sudden and realize the fantastic pleasure of not being controlled by this habit. The health benefits and your life expectancy should be the main reasons to stop. But the dollar and cents benefits are some of the extras that add up real quick.
At a pack a day, you can save over $2000 a year and most smokers spend more than that. This in itself is a nice benefit but the savings are realized in many different parts of your life.
One big area is the cost of insurance. Smokers pay more for auto and home owners insurance. Smokers get into more auto accidents and have more home fires, so they pay higher rates. The statistics show it and insurance companies charge more to smokers. Stop smoking and you will see your rates go down.
When it comes to Life and Health insurance, the savings becomes even more apparent.
Smoking shortens your life and weakens your health. The best rates are offered to people, who never started smoking, but once you have stopped smoking and stopped smoking for a year or more, your rates will get better. You will begin to save thousands and thousands of dollars by not smoking. Over the years you will save a fortune.
By not smoking, you also won't be paying for the medications that smokers need versus non-smokers. You won't pay the higher premiums that smokers pay for health and life insurance. So in addition to the money saved by not buying cigarettes, you will save on insurance premiums too.
I am gratified most by my renewed health and sense of longevity, but the extra money and savings are great to add to the list of benefits of quitting smoking!
Good Luck and Good Health!
