What
Ex-Smokers Say About The Benefits of Quitting Smoking
"Getting
Started"
All ex-smokers say the same
thing about having quit smoking: PRIDE and SATISFACTION. People
who quit smoking are proud of themselves for breaking the addiction. And
by having quit, ex-smokers feel as though they have managed to overcome
a great burden that have been bothering them for years, leaving them
with a feeling of tremendous satisfaction and accomplishment.
By
quitting, smokers definitely receive many health benefits. They
cut down on their risk of having lung disease, a heart attack or getting
cancer. On top of that, their stamina improves, they feel better and
have less daily problems like coughs, stained rugs or burnt
clothes.
Former smokers are also glad
to be "cleaner" once they have rid the cigarette stains off
their fingers and permanently remove the smell of stale cigarette smoke
from their clothing.
Other pleasing "side
effects" of quitting are an improved sense of smell and taste.
Stopping smoking as early as
possible is important, but cessation at any age provides meaningful
life extensions, and that doesn't just mean living longer, but
living healthier till the end of your days. Life
expectancy improves by many years for both men and women who quit
smoking and the earlier they quit, the better the results.
So there
is all to gain and nothing to lose when you quit smoking. You will never
find a perfect day to quit smoking, but remember that the best time to
do it is definitely NOW. So make your commitment to quit smoking today!
