Of course, it is difficult to stop smoking. Who can forget the inimitable smell of cigarettes that fill up the lungs, and make you feel satisfied when you take that one drag off the white tube of death? But have you ever considered why so many people are breaking the habit of smoking? Why are people coming out of the vicious circle of cigarette smoking with a vengeance? Here are but a few reasons to do so.
Well, the most important reason to quit smoking is probably because it is one of the most obvious causes of lung cancer. But apart from lung cancer, there are other forms of cancer, like breast cancer for which smoking is either diametrically responsible, or indirectly encouraging.
Women who are pregnant are advised by their doctors to immediately quit smoking because that way the unborn baby would not end up with nicotine withdrawal. They would not be susceptible more to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), and would have a better immunity system overall. By promising to quit smoke you promise to present them with a better set of lungs and respiratory system as well. And you would be around to see this when you grow old, as every cigarette take away seven minutes of your life.
