I know there are soooo many good reasons to quit smoking. And sharing these reasons can, I think, be a constant motivator and reminder of why we come to this forum. I posted these once but it was at the bottom of a discussion thread that was abandoned shortly thereafter. But, for what they are worth, here are my top 10 reasons to quit smoking:
1. Enjoy middle and old age with my wife (in my 50s now)
2. Not get sick or become pathetic wreck or be a burden to my family due to smoking
3. Watch my children continue to grow and be around to enjoy my grandkids
4. Not isolate myself or feel like a sneak (I live in CA so this is a big problem for smokers)
5. Not smell like cigarettes
6. Improve my sense of smell and taste
7. Prove to myself that I can do it
8. Avoid having to feel like the biggest idiot on earth if I get lung cancer
9. Save the money
10.Improve my lung capacity
So there you have it. Ten pretty good reasons. Let's see what more the group can add.
