DID YOU KNOW that over 70% of smokers want to quit?
Welcome to part two of our three-part series on just that: quitting smoking. We know that the journey to giving up can be a challenge, so while last time we focused on motivation to give up, this week we’re going to look ahead to the benefits.
We all know the hard facts: tobacco kills 50% of its users. That can be a difficult thing to wrap your head around in a real way – so here are some of the more everyday, tangible ways your life will improve when you drop cigarettes.
No more stinky hair. Or car, or clothes, or furnishings… The list goes on. If you give the cigarettes the boot, you’ll wind up smelling a lot better.
And not only will you yourself smell more fragrant, but your sense of smell (and therefore taste) should slowly return to its previous strength, too. That means your food will get tastier. Win.
Smoking adversely affects your skin, making it drier and more prone to wrinkles. Your hair and skin will improve in quality when you kick the habit, and you will no longer have stained fingernails – and you’ll nip your yellowing teeth in the bud.
Stopping smoking gives you back a sense of control over your actions. No longer are you bound to your hourly smoke breaks, or feeling like you have to cut conversations short because you need to go outside for a cigarette. It’s back to just you calling the shots, not the cigarettes.
Many smokers report suffering from a persistent cough. With your lung capacity improving by up to 10% within nine months of quitting, you’ll breathe much easier.
Quitting improves your body’s bloodflow, meaning it increases sensitivity – which means stopping smoking could improve both men and women’s sex lives. Not only that, but non-smokers are THREE times more appealing than smokers to prospective partners.
