The decision to quit smoking may also force you to stay away from long time friends if they’re also smoking and unwilling to cease temporarily if and when they’re in your company.
Have you considered that? Have you considered how your life would change if and when you do quit smoking? Maybe, you think that the decision to quit smoking would be something totally disadvantageous. Teenagers, for example, insist on smoking because it gives them a “cooler” image. Once they quit smoking, however, that image goes kaput and they’d have to gain popularity then just by being themselves. The decision to quit smoking may also force you to stay away from long time friends if they’re also smoking and unwilling to cease temporarily if and when they’re in your company. But what else is there to make you reject the idea of quitting smoking? Is there anything more? If not, then let’s focus on the positive changes that shall affect your life once you quit smoking. The decision to quit smoking will be a decision that your finances shall surely welcome because smoking is quite a pricy habit to maintain, even if you don’t notice it. If you compute just how much you’re spending on your smoking habit in a year, the figure might just be the reason enough to quit smoking. You’ll surely realize that you’re throwing good money just for a few puffs and the chance to shorten your already short life all the more. It’s not a good picture to paint, isn’t it? Well, the picture shall only look worse and worse if you don’t quit smoking. But if you do, blessings would surely come in droves. If and when you quit smoking, you’ll find out that there are more opportunities lying ahead of you. You may not know this till now but smoking could be one of the main reasons why your resume got the quick thumbs-down. Smart employers, you see, are always on the lookout for cost-efficient methods of operating the business and hiring non-smokers, rather than smokers, is one of those methods. Smokers are more prone to fall sick, be absent and take breaks in regular intervals to satisfy their bodies’ cravings for nicotine. Smokers also tend to have higher insurance fees – not something any employer would rejoice about because they’re answerable to at least a portion of the insurance fee. Besides that, the decision to quit smoking shall lead you to enjoy whiter teeth (but you still need to use a whitening toothpaste), better smelling breath (a change that your dates would no doubt welcome), a healthier body and the chance to live a longer life.
