As if you don’t have enough reasons already, here are a few more reasons to quit smoking today. Hopefully they’ll help you get to the point where you’re finally ready to quit for good.
1. Coughing
This one should be obvious, but because I went through it in a big way, it’s first on my list. I had an awful smoker’s cough when I smoked, and it went completely away within a week of quitting. The body heals amazingly fast, and you’ll feel better shortly after quitting!
2. Exercise
Ever try jogging with a cigarette? Lifting weights? I didn’t think so. I was a bit, shall we say, round around the middle as a smoker. I didn’t start some ridiculous exercise routine when I quit, I just went for a walk every day or so. You feel a lot better when you don’t smoke, and being able to walk and enjoy the outdoors really shows it.
3. Food
People don’t really seem to mention this one as much, but smoking apparently kills your sense of taste and smell. Few days after quitting, food started tasting better. A lot better. There’s also the downside of bad smells being worse, but we’re not going to go there.
4. Dating
Being a smoker makes you a lot less attractive. I didn’t really notice this until after I quit, but it makes a huge difference. As a non-smoker, I feel a lot more approachable than before. People will want to talk to you a lot more when you aren’t breathing cigarette smoke at them with every word.
When you step onto a scale and you see those numbers staring back at you the first thought to cross your mind is “I’m fat.” But body weight alone is not the end all and be all of whether or not someone is fat. Of far more greater importance is body fat percentage. Men whose body fat percentage gets up above 15% or more are considered to be entering the realm of obesity. For women this percentage is anything over 22% body fat. The first thing that crosses many people mind at times like these is they have to do something drastic to lose the weight.
