There Are Actually Pros to Smoking?
No, not really but many smokers will convince themselves that there are good things that come from smoking cigarettes even though non-smokers would disagree. If you think about it, these “pros” are really nothing more than excuses. You will hear many smokers say that:
- There is a bond with other smokers, especially in work environments
- They get more breaks at work if they are a smoker
- There is a calming feeling that they receive from smoking
- They enjoy the “ritual” of it
- Watching the cigarette smoke swirl around in the air is fun
Smokers “get” these reasons but non-smokers see these issues as cons:
- The cigarette smoke leaves a nasty smell on everything
- Smokers can’t breathe well
- Smokers have a terrible sounding cough all hours of the day and night
- Cigarettes leave skin, teeth and nails a yellowish color
- There is a sense of inadequacy when a substance is allowed to control your day
- Smoking causes lung cancer in the smoker and through second hand smoke
- Those who smoke are basically throwing away their hard earned money
Of course, the cons far outweigh the pros of smoking. As a smoker, you have to make sure that you are moving your line of thinking from the “pros” of a smoker to the “cons”. When you can do this, you are one step closer to being smoke free and on the road to a healthier lifestyle. The second step is of course finding out how you can quit smoking by reading a quit smoking today review and other articles and finally taking action!
