Ok, for everyone who is quitting or trying to stay quit, here is some of the reasons I quit and will NEVER smoke again. I know I had tons of other reasons I didnt list though. Many of these things Ive read through the net and pamphlets,etc. and doesnt necesarily meen they WILL happen, only they COULD happen. Hope this list helps people like it helped me! :)

REASONS I QUIT

Lung cancer risk
Heart disease risk
My family's health
Bad teeth
Smells bad
Looked down upon in society
Cervical cancer and many other cancers risk
Get sick less
Sleep better
More energy
I can smell/taste better
Breathe easier
Makes everything it touches yellow over time
Heart fast
Recover better after surgery, especially if in an accident
Expensive
Time consuming (the smoking and the buying them)
I dont like being dependent on them
Makes lungs hurt
Bad cough
Emphazema risk
Asthma risk
Wasting too much of my life
Stroke risk
Cysts risk

Anesthesia and healing risk
Blood clots risk
Wrinkles

Remember to keep reminding yourself why you are quitting constantly! Sometimes we forget untill we have another fall. Placing Post-It-Notes all over the place is a good idea!
Take care,
Lori
