Smoking causes many health risks and anytime is a good time to quit.  Cigarettes are addicting and a very bad habit to have, but people believe that they get some kind of pleasure from them and that they alleviate the stress in their life.  Unfortunately, lung cancer kills more women than breast cancer does every single year. 

Obviously, there are a lot of reasons to quit smoking.  Cigarettes are expensive and cost over $1500 a year for just one pack a day.  You could save the money for a car or go on a trip.  Eventually after smoking for years, you will begin to wrinkles and become more and more tired. 

Cigarette smoke whether it is from you or second hand can cause lungs problems in the future.  So, if you are a smoker, you maybe causing someone around the risk of having health problems.  Smoking may also cause problems if you have pets in your home.  Pet problems lead to more of an expense in the long run. 

Another reason to stop smoking is the chance that you meet a non-smoker and want a relationship with that person, that same person may not want to date you because you smoke.  Usually non-smokers do not like being around the smell of smoke or kissing someone that smokes because they always have bad cigarette breath.  Bad breath is not attractive. 

According to the American Lung Association, 4, 500,000 children and adults are smokers in the U.S.  Sometimes parents that smoke pass the bad habit to their children.  Over 6000 children try a cigarette daily.  Most kids that try a cigarette normally regret it. 

There are over 4000 chemicals found in a cigarette.  That alone should not be good for your health and 250 are toxic poisons.  50 chemicals found in cigarettes have been proven to cause cancer.  Remember when you smoke a cigarette, the nicotine will remain in the body for 8 to 12 hours after smoking the cigarette, so if you are a chain smoker the nicotine never leaves the body.  If you give up smoking now, you wont regret it!
