After 18 years its time for me to quit!
Anyone else ready to also?
I am going to try the e-cig method.
Here are some reasons for quitting, I'm hoping that everyone can join in this and give us all good reasons to quit and help each other stay on board.
Some have different motivates to quit smoking than others.
1. I want my 18 year old stepson to quit before he gets in too far and can't quit. He's WAY too young to have this bad habit!
2. I am tired of feeling tired, no strength, no energy anymore.
3. I loved to be active and workout and hike and mountain climb and now I can't even do it w/o a struggle.
4. My nephews, beautiful babies that I want to see grow up!
5. More than 6,000 companies in the US will not hire a smoker!
6. Smoking in your car depreciates the value of your car, they already depreciate too much as is, and I pay enough for my BMW to not ruin it or make it smell bad!
7. I am too young to have to worry about cholesterol. Quitting smoking will increase my good cholesterol, which will decrease my overall cholesterol.
8. My loving, supportive, wonderful husband hates kissing me after a cigarette. Divorce rate is higher in couples when one is a smoker and the other is not. I don't ever want to lose this man!
9. I am not welcome into bars, restaurants, anywhere really with a cig, so Im always holding someone else up from going in somewhere if they wait for me to smoke. Its embarrassing, Im always apologizing to people for making them wait for me.
10. Its my ONLY bad bad habit that effects my health. I changed my eating habits and want to get back into working out like I used to.
Help me find more and more reasons to quit!
