Thirteen Reasons I should stop smoking
Thirteen reasons I should stop smoking
.
1. It’s a waste of money. In my case about 20 Euros per month, which is not all too much, but could still go to better uses instead.
2. It makes my breath smell bad and turns my teeth a yellowish color, thus making me brush them much more than is probably good.
3. It gives me bad skin (as if I hadn’t enough problems with that already) and makes me look older.
4. I have these yellow stains between my forefinger and middle finger that don’t go away, no matter how hard I scrub.
5. It does definitely NOT look cool, at least not when I do it.
6. It is unhealthy and I really don’t wanna die of lung cancer when I’m 45.
Or 80, for that matter. I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
7. I hate to be addicted to anything.
8. It annoys other people around me (wait, now that could actually be an advantage sometimes!).
9. It’s a waste of time as well, I could read or write or do whatever instead.
10. It reduces my non-existent fitness level even further, I am short of breath and I imagine I feel cardiac pain sometimes. Ok, I do have a very lively imagination, so it’s probably not real pain yet, but it could be one day. I just don’t wanna wait that long.
11. I didn’t lose any weight through it. You know, how every smoker tells you that they eat so much less, because they are smoking all the time? Or that their metabolism works somehow differently and if they quit they would gain weight? Well, it’s all bullshit. Or they smoke a whole lot more than me, because I certainly didn’t lose any weight since I took up smoking.
12. It doesn’t have ANY discernible positive effect, so why bother?
13. I actually want to quit.

Good luck! I’ve never smoked but known many who have tried to quit or are quitting…you’ll get there!
Good luck!! It’s soooo hard, but there’s lots of good advice in these comments. I can only offer this: YOU have to WANT to quit. Not because you should or because it’s not cool, or because others want you to…
It also increases your ricks of catching TB from an infected individual.
Good luck on quitting and Happy T13
You’re right. I don’t understand why people would want to smoke.
Go for it! All the best in quitting. I know it’s hard, but you can do it!
Thanks for visiting my collections TT. Sorry I’m a bit late with my TT round, been busy!
