Quitting Smoking: The Best Decision

By Jammy Hoob

Many people have probably told you to quit smoking. When deciding to give up nicotine, you should also be aware that there are some quit smoking side effects that you will have to deal with. Now, they are not as scary as you might first think, but you should be aware of them, in order to be prepared and deal with the them right way.

Why should you stop smoking? Apart from the health benefits, you will save money. Have you ever worked out exactly how much your cigarette or cigar habit is costing you? One suggested way to quit is to put the money you would normally spend into a jar and when it is full buy something that you have wanted for ages. Don't pay off credit cards or bills the first time, you can do that later.

There are many ways to quit smoking. There are stop smoking pills, patches and even laser treatments. When it comes down to it, you have to want it enough to do it yourself. Finances are another area that improves immediately when a person stop smoking. The cost of a pack of cigarettes these days is astounding. The fact that smokers continue to pay it is proof of the strength of the addiction.

If you've been a smoker for many years, then you need to regain your health immediately. The average smoker spends $30 a week on their habit. That is over $1,500 a year. That is money that could be spent on much more constructive things or money that could go towards bills and life expenses.

Don't give up if you are not successful the first time you quit. Keep trying again and again until you have become a non smoker. You have far too much to gain by not indulging in this habit. If it helps, avoid the social occasions you associate with having a smoke for a while. If you associate a cigarette with a drink, then temporarily give up alcohol as well. - 30286
