Health Benefits

This is the foremost important reason why you should quit smoking. It is the most important yet it is the most disregarded reason of all. When I was still smoking heavily health problems caused by smoking was the least that gave motivation for me to quit. Even when I was having the worst cough in my life, I would still grab a cigarette whenever I needed the kick to suppress my withdrawal symptoms. So sad but it’s true and I know most smokers out there be it a casual smoker or a heavy smoker, health benefits gives the least motivation to quit.

The only time I gave serious thought about my health was the time I was able to pass the US CPA board exams. I was smoking heavily and I know that something was wrong with my health and if I couldn’t find the means to quit smoking for good I might not be able to apply my new profession if I will fail the needed medical exam. This situation gave way to bring a strong desire for me to quit.

Start thinking about your health, health insurance is becoming expensive these days and once they know you are a smoker, premiums get higher or you might not be able to enjoy all the benefits these insurance companies are offering. Quitting is not yet too late, you could still reverse the bad effects that were caused by smoking by quitting now. Don’t wait for the worst disease such as cancer to come. Be concerned and be serious with your healththis is one of the greatest benefits of quitting smoking.

Financial Benefits

Have you ever asked yourself how much have you spent buying cigarettes? Well, depending on how long have you been smoking, doing the math will provide you a rough estimate on how much fortune have you spent in getting your dose of nicotine. How many packs do you smoke in a year, multiply that by the price of one pack and multiply it with the number of years that you have been smoking. You might be surprised with the amount that you will get. And did you know that in New York a pack of cigarette costs around $11.00 effective last July 1 this year?

Why not doing it the other way around, if you plan to keep on smoking for the next nth years, then why not try to compute how much are you going to spend for cigarettes in the future? Well, if you are going to quit smoking for good now you will be able to save all those money and use it for something worthwhile like travelling.

Social Respect

This was another reason why I quit smoking for good. It’s not only shameful to find other people covering their nose whenever I pass by them because I smell like a smoke pit; it was also a bad experience to see people avoiding me because not only for the stink brought by smoking but also the stained teeth and dark lips that I have before. I work in the corporate world and having this vice can turn your social respect down from other people.

Another reason is the hiring process. Employers now are looking for non-smokers in their offices. They are now becoming smart because smokers waste a lot of their time taking their smoke breaks and most often smokers get sick all the time. So if you want to increase your chances of getting hired, spend your time productively instead of puffing those stinking cigarettes or if you want to make your boss happy and satisfied with your work, quit smoking for good now.

Control and Freedom
