"No-one starts smoking
"Taking back control of your life is one of the keys to stopping. The belief that cigarette smoking helps to reduce your stress is mistaken. |

Feel better, be healthier
Even the health benefits of quitting smoking go beyond the big picture. Yes, it’s true that the American Cancer Society links smoking to several cancers, including 87 percent of lung cancers. But if these scary facts aren’t your best motivator, focus on the more immediate benefits: breathing easier, coughing less and having more stamina. As you find it easier to breathe, you can also breathe easy knowing that you’re reducing your risk of asthma, emphysema, pneumonia and other lung diseases as well.
Your eyes will benefit, too. Many people are unaware that smoking contributes to eye diseases such as cataracts, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
But wait, there’s more! Smoking worsens diabetic complications such as nerve damage, and it may contribute to developing diabetes. Smoking is also linked to heartburn, ulcers, liver damage, Crohn’s disease, kidney damage, dementia, depression, anxiety and many other disorders. Trying to prevent such conditions is yet another reason to give up cigarettes.
And quitting smoking is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of arterial disease, heart attack and stroke.
For many, fear of illness, even death, is not a primary motivation for quitting. And that’s fine. The key is to find the reasons to quit that mean the most to you. Maybe your motivator is to look better, to feel better, to have more money in your pocket. Consider the many ways that kicking the habit can kick-start your life. You’ll soon have:
- Sweeter breath. Your teeth will be whiter; your breath, fresher. And you’ll be less likely to develop gum disease, tooth decay or tooth loss.
- Smoother skin. Going smoke-free is one of the best ways to ward off wrinkles.
- Nicer nails. Who’s yellow? Make those stained fingers and nails a mere bad memory.
- A sharper sense of taste. Remember when you could really smell and taste your favorite foods? You’ll be able to, again.
- Fresher scents. Your hair, clothes, house and car will smell better.
- More time. Who doesn’t need more time? All those minutes once spent on cigarette breaks really do add up. Smokers spend 8 percent of their working hours on smoking rituals, the
American Cancer Society estimates. Now you can spend that time getting things done more efficiently, or enjoying yourself. - A fatter wallet. Think of the thousands of dollars you’ll save. Over $100,000 for the average life-time of a smoker, according to the American Cancer Society, plus more from decreased medical bills, insurance premiums and other costs.
- A better feeling about yourself. You’ll know that you’re no longer exposing those around you to secondhand smoke, and if you have kids, you can feel really good that you’re setting a positive example.
How women (and babies) benefit
Need more reasons to quit? Women also reduce their risk for cervical cancer, osteoporosis, menstrual irregularities and early menopause. Thinking of having a baby? Consider:
- Quitting smoking reduces your risk of infertility, and promotes a healthy pregnancy, with a lower risk of miscarriage, premature delivery, infant death and low birth weight.
- Your newborn’s lung function will be better, too. And the benefits will continue: Children of nonsmokers also have a lower risk of sudden infant death syndrome, asthma, allergies, ear infections, colds and serious respiratory infections.
