    DEATH. Painful cancer. Bad breath. Getting rained on. Overpaying for death sticks. Costing the rest of us a fortune in insurance costs because you are electing to kill yourself.

  • Stephy says:

    My grandpa died of lung cancer 3 months, 3 days and about 4 hours ago. Thats why.

  • Doug L says:

    people that care about you want to see you healthy and happy.
    Food will taste better
    Sex will feel better
    your sense of smell will improve.
    Your clothes wont smell
    your car wont smell
    you’ll save tons of money
    health insurance would be cheaper, matter of fact, most all insurance would be.

  • teenage mutant ninja guy says:

    It can give you lung cancer.
    It makes your hair and clothes smell bad.
    It will eventually turn your teeth yellow.
    You’ll be spending tens of thousands of dollars on cigarettes over a life-time.
    Some people find smoking to be a turn-off.

  • ryan von rider says:

    There isn’t a positive thing about smoking everything about smoking is gross!!!

    * Cigarette smoke leaves an after smell on everything around you: your clothes, car and home.
    * You may not be able to breathe properly.
    * A nagging cough may bother you day and night.
    * You may suffer from severe headaches and even occasional migraines.
    * A feeling of dizziness after smoking cigarettes too fast or after having too many of them is very common.
    * Cigarettes may leave you flaunting yellow skin, teeth and fingernails.
    * You may have lot of phlegm, which may force you to clear your voice continuously and may even make you lose your voice in middle of a sentence.
    * You may suffer from increased rate of hypertension.
    * A feeling of inadequacy and substance dependence may take you over.
    * Suffering from nausea after too much of smoking is common.
    * You may feel anxiety and no relaxation throughout the day.
    * You may lack motivation as well as the energy to do anything.
    * The sense of smell and taste may diminish.
    * Smoking is wastage of your hard earned money and health.
    * You may also suffer from lingering colds and bronchitis.

  • SEGERLOVER says:

    It will kill you is all you should need to hear.

    but if you want more, you save money, you won’t smell like cigarettes, you will look younger(smoking causes wrinkles), your food may taste better, you will probably have more energy.

  • Joseph the Second says:

    It can Kill You. And if THAT isn’t “Reason” enough to quit indulging in a Bad Habit- 999 other ones are not going to do the “trick”- either. Stop making up “excuses”- & DO it. Or ONE of these years you’re going to end up on a “List” of your OWN. -The Obituary List in the back of your Local Newspaper ! :o So take the “hint”, & good luck. :)

  • Laa Laa says:

    If you care more about health, think about:

    cancer
    emphysema
    etc

    If you care more about beauty right now, think about:

    you will get more wrinkles in general
    you will get more of those tiny wrinkles around your mouth
    you will stink all over

    I was surprised after I quit smoking (smoked for 10 years), how much people who smoked just stunk in general. It smelled bad just to be next to them. Think about all of the people you are offending with your bad smell. Some people you wouldn’t care about, but if you are talking about a love interest, maybe you’d care about that.

    You also do damage to anyone you care about who happens to be around your smoke. That was a big factor for me to quit.

    I am on day 6 of my Quit smoking programme. And yes motivation from cons/damages is key so for me (and I’m an addictions counsellor!!! and its tough). Here are are my reasons:
    1. Freedom from constant fear that I’ll get the lung disease my mother died from (smoking related) – she died prematurely.
    2. Thus, longer life.
    3. Longer time to love my kids (I felt robbed when she died prematurely)
    4. I have so much to still accomplish with my life – life legacy to leave behind
    5. Saving money – Lots – from health hazards, indirect costs etc.
    6. Shame – I’m 52 and still I hate to smoke in front of my kids (bad example to them as I used to be an ultra-marathon runner!!! Does that make any sense? It’s the insanity of an addiction). So…
    7. Return to sanity and serenity (I live with a low grade agitation/impatience since I started years ago)
    8 to 100. Sure there are plenty more. What are yours?

  • Joe says:

    I think this is one of your best decisions. You must know what are the advantages of quitting:

    This will keep you motivated throughout. My friend was chain smoker and he quit. He use to say, just be mentally strong and you can do it. Here are some tips that helped him:

  • Oscar says:

    2nd Corinthians 7:1 states: “Therefore, since we have these promises, beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God’s fear.”

    1st Peter 2:11 states: “Beloved, I exhort YOU as aliens and temporary residents to keep abstaining from fleshly desires, which are the very ones that carry on a conflict against the soul.”

    I know you have asked questions about what the Bible says, so I figured I would share these scriptures in hopes you look them up yourself and keep them as a reminder.

    Since smoking defiles your lungs, throat, teeth and breath it definitely defiles the entire body when the bad air goes into your blood stream.

    Enough said.
