There are many millions of people in the world that smoke cigarettes everyday of their lives. Everyone knows that there are many ailments that come from smoking cigarettes and one of the biggest killers is cancer. No one wants to go to the doctor and hear him say that they have cancer in their lungs, liver, intestines, pancreas, or any of the many other places it can be in your body. This disease kills hundreds of thousands of people each year and the numbers are not going down enough to really notice.
Cancer is something that no smoker wants to think about. Most all of them can tell you that they know it is damaging their lungs and they are even running the risk of getting lung cancer, but they still continue to smoking cigarettes or other tobacco products. It seems as people get caught up in their everyday life and stay so busy, they do not stop to think about what they could be giving up by continuing to smoke. The ones that have been smoking for many years and are middle aged, probably have kids or maybe even grandchildren. A big priority in the lives of most people is family, especially your children and their children.
There are all kinds of reasons that you could come up with to help you quit smoking and the biggest one should be yourself and your health. How can you claim to love others so much when you are choosing to kill yourself slowly and will not likely be with them for as long as you could. Continuing to smoke cigarettes will do damage to the body that not even the strongest of willed people can not over come later in life. Nobody wants their kids or even grandchildren to see them looking old and sick, but the truth is that the carbon monoxide that they have breathed all of their life has robbed them of their youthful appearance. This is a deadly chemical that a smoker has been inhaling into their lungs for many years.
Not only will cigarettes rob you of your youthful look, you will find that eventually you are going to realize the amount of money that you have lost over the last many years of supporting this habit.
So, if you are still smoking cigarettes, talk to your doctor about the possibilities of getting on a program or anything you can do that will get you off of cigarettes. If just looking at your family can not make you quit, just imagine not being able to ever look at them again because you had to die too soon.
