"Each of us should think of the future. Every puff on a cigarette is another tick closer to a time bomb of terrible consequences. Lt. Christopher Hitchens didn't care about the consequences of smoking cigarettes. Tragically, he died of throat cancer in December 2011." - Ray Comfort.
When I started writing this article, I heard a voice in my head asking me this question; 'Why write this today? Why not write it tomorrow? and I replied saying,' Tomorrow might be too late.'
It is good from time to time to recall all the big and little reasons why you might want to quit smoking. Reading this blog today, might help you. Today might be the best day to start seriously thinking about quitting smoking, you can start by comparing both the negative and the positive things you've achieved from smoking.
Smoking sucks! Any time people tell me to try out smoking, I ask myself this question; "Do you actually want to spend the rest of your life fighting a stupid addiction to a stupid thing that doesn't even give any benefit?"
The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror - not the glamour and sophistication the youths of our generation try to portray.
Early this year, I had a conversation with a friend of mine and I asked him why he loves smoking. He told me he smokes because he has insomnia. Later that day, while I was praying, I told GOD that he shouldn't make his last puff make him sleep forever.
There will never be a “perfect” time to quit smoking. If you had started today one year ago, this would not even be an issue for you today! Don’t waste another year!
A friend of mine once said, 'I wish I could tell young women that smoking is not glamorous neither is it wife material.' - Princess Akunna.
The next time you want to smoke, think of the people you love, think of the people that love you and let it serve as a reminder that they do not want to lose you.
I BELIEVE IN YOU AND I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!
