Every smoker, if they’re honest with themselves, knows that they’d be better off if they could kick the habit. Sometimes it’s a question of getting motivated enough to commit to becoming smoke-free. Here’s some quitting smoking benefits to help in the motivation department.

The obvious benefit, of course, is to your health. Smoking causes 90% of lung cancers and is responsible for most cases of  bronchitis and chronic emphysema as well. Lung cancer to you early and chronic lung disease can make you wish you were dead.

There is no safe level of smoking. Even a few cigarettes a day do severe harm. The only good answer is to give them up.

Another quitting smoking benefit is financial. Smoking is like any other addiction – addicts spend money to feed their habit that they could use much more wisely elsewhere. It seems tragic, if not downright foolish, to spend so much money on something that causes so much harm. You’ll find a lot better ways to spend that money after you smoke your last cigarette.

Another benefit of quitting smoking is psychological. Showing the degree of commitment it takes to give up smoking will definitely improve your self-image.

The benefits of your quitting smoking extend to those you love. When you stop, you’ll spare them the damaging effects of secondhand smoke and also watching you kill yourself one cigarette a time.

I wish was completely easy to quit smoking and start experiencing these benefits, but you know it’s not.
