Other Benefits
Some of the other benefits of quitting smoking
Personal Benefits:
You will gain many benefits from your decision to quit smoking. Most importantly, it may save your life. Those who quit smoking decrease their risk of lung disease, heart disease, emphysema and cancer. They are proud to be rid of the hacking coughs, the messy ash trays, the smell of stale smoke at home, in their cars and on their clothes and hair, and the nicotine stains on their fingers and teeth. Some people report rejuvenation of their sense of smell and taste as well as increased vitality. But for most, the first noticeable difference is a sense of pride in knowing, they've "kicked the habit."
Save Money:
For many, the money they would save by quitting smoking is incentive enough. The following chart relates the amount of money that can be saved in a year.
| Packs/Day | $/Day | $/Week | $/Month | $/Year |
| 0.5 | $5 | $35 | $150 | $1,800 |
| 1 | $10 | $70 | $300 | $3,600 |
| 1.5 | $15 | $105 | $420 | $5,040 |
| 2 | $20 | $140 | $600 | $7,200 |
(note: figures may not be up to date)
This does not include the savings such as specialized whitening tooth pastes and related medical expenses. Take a moment to think about all the things you could do if you put all the money you would waste on tobacco into savings.
Family Concerns:
Smoking affects not only yourself, but secondary smoke can substantially affect the health of those around you. Children with parents who smoke are sick more often. Colds are more frequent and flu, ear infections, asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia may be due in part to cigarette smoke. Babies born to smokers may have a lower birth weight and have slower lung development. They are more likely to be hospitalized in their first two years of life. In addition, they will be more prone to smoke as teenagers and adults.
Just think about it:
Why do you want to quit? Whatever your reason for quitting, there is nothing to lose and much to gain. Support from your family and friends can be a great help in your quest to quit smoking, but ultimately it is only your desire and the force of that will that will determine your success.
