7 Reasons to Quit SMOKING


1. Smokers are much more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction than non smokers. Enough said?






2. Smoking Makes You Look Bad
Smoking causes premature wrinkles, not just on your face, but on your whole body. It also causes many of these unattractive symptoms:

Staining of the teeth and other dental diseases
Tooth loss
Premature hair loss
Some of this damage can be reversed by quitting smoking, so the sooner you quit, the better off you'll be!


3. Smoking cigarettes not only impairs a smoker's immune system, leaving them more susceptible to diseases such as pneumonia, but also the immune system of those around them. Children, and especially babies, are put at extreme risk.


4.Smokers who keep smoking into middle and old age are much more susceptible to early mental decline, including dementia and Alzheimer's. These diseases will occur even if it doesn't run in their families!

5.Smoking Isn't Cool Anymore
Let's face it, most people just don't like smokers. It's becoming harder and harder just to find a place outside of your own home where it is acceptable to light up, and when you do, it's not a popular move. Also, most non-smokers won't date a smoker.

6.Secondhand Smoke Kills
When you choose to smoke, you aren't just hurting yourself, you are hurting those around you. In fact, there is evidence that secondhand smoke may be even more damaging than firsthand smoke! Each year secondhand smoke kills 50,000 people, and that's just not acceptable.



7.Smoking Can Cause Infertility
Smoking can cause infertility in both men and women. In men, it can cause their little swimmers to have problems. In women, it can damage their ovaries and make it harder for them to produce healthy eggs. If you do happen to get pregnant, smoking increases chances of miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.


It's Not Too Late!!!
Many of you may think you have already smoked so long and caused so much damage there is no point in quitting now, but that is not true. As soon as you quit smoking, your body begins to repair itself almost immediately. Some of the first signs will be a recovery of your sense of smell and taste, which should happen in a week or so. In a few weeks, you should even be able to breathe better!

There's plenty more guys, but these few should do the job, quit today!
