The Pros and Cons of Smoking

Monday February 6, 2006
Most smokers wish that they didn't smoke, but sadly, once nicotine addiction grabs hold of us, it doesn't let go easily. We spend years in a cloud of smoke dreaming of what life would be like if we weren't addicted to tobacco.

We all have reasons why we want to quit smoking. Have you ever listed yours out in writing? From big to small, every reason counts.

Create your own list of reasons and carry it with you so that you can add to it as things come to mind. If you're still smoking, use this list to help you build the motivation you need to quit. If you've already quit smoking, use it to maintain your resolve.

Every reason counts!

What are your reasons?
