Why Should I Quit Smoking?
It always seems daunting when you take the first step to quit smoking. With all those cravings sneaking up on you, you often find yourself asking why am I doing this? Well we’re going to tell you!
We all know the damaging effect that smoking can have on our health, with over half of all long-term smokers having a smoking-related disease such as heart disease or lung cancer.
If you kick the habit by the age of 30, you can add an extra 10 years on to your life so you can enjoy a longer and healthier lifestyle.
Not only is smoking bad for your overall health, it can also contribute to a number of other health conditions too.
For example, do you feel like you’re often quite stressed and feel like the only way to de-stress is to have a cigarette? This is due to the nicotine withdrawal getting confused with every day stress, so it can seem like smoking is helping to reduce that stressed feeling, but this is not the case. There are scientific studies show that people's stress levels are actually lower after they’ve kicked the habit and quit smoking.
Other benefits of quitting smoking may include:
- Better mood and less stress
- Younger skin
- Whiter teeth
- Fresher breath
- Improved cardiovascular system
- Breathe easier
