7 Reasons to Stop Smoking



It is reported in the newspaper that eight in 10 men who smoke may end up having sexual problems, according to a doctor who performs clinical evaluation on male fertility. Smokers are hurting not only themselves seriously but those people around them as well. Here are the seven deadly sins of smokers:

 1. Health: It is confirmed that smoking is the leading cause of cancer and there are many other health-related problems besides sexual impotence. Smoking weakens your immune system and you are exposed to all kinds of illnesses.

2. Pollute office and home: In an enclosed environment, especially where the place is air-conditioned, smokers create the worst havoc. The air is not only polluted, there is a foul smile lingering about in the air. They, because of their urge to smoke, ignore the no-smoking sign and the health and well-being of others. It is the same thing at home, where your loved ones are adversely affected. They have to put up with their spouse’s selfish smoking habit and also tolerate inhaling second-hand smoke.

3. A dirty habit: Smokers have the dirtiest habit around. Besides polluting the air, cigarette ash and cigarette butts are everywhere. Ashtrays do not seem to serve the purpose. The worst offenders are those working in catering outlets. They smoke while working. Their behavior pisses you off.

4. Non-smokers are affected: Non-smokers are the worst victims. They are constantly inhaling second-hand smoke. Smokers have a whale of a time at the expense of other people’s health. They are the most inconsiderate people in the world.

5. Fire hazard: When you think smoking is only affecting people’s health adversely. Think again. A smoker may smoke while lying on bed and without realizing it, the person falls asleep while the cigarette in their hand is still burning. You can imagine the disastrous consequences.

6. A costly habit: Every year during budget time more tax is slapped onto cigarettes. It is actually to discourage the public from smoking. I wonder it is working, for all I know it is one of the most expensive bad habits besides gambling.

7. A burden for healthcare cost: Smokers cost the country to shoulder heavy medical expenses. It is a drain of a country‘s financial resources which could be put to better use.

Are you a smoker? Quit now for the sake of everyone’s well-being.
