The obvious benefit, of course, is to your health. Smoking causes almost all lung cancers and most chronic lung disease. Lung cancer to you early and chronic lung disease cripples you and robs you of your ability to enjoy life.

There is no safe level of smoking. Even a few cigarettes a day do severe harm. The only good answer is to give them up.

Another quitting smoking benefit is financial. Smoking is like any other addiction – addicts spend money to feed their habit that they could use much more wisely elsewhere. Really – who in their right mind would spend so much money on something that causes so many problems? Think about all the better things you could do with that money when your smoke-free.

Another benefit of quitting smoking is psychological. Showing the degree of self-control it takes to give up smoking will definitely improve your confidence and sense of pride.

The benefits of your quitting smoking extend to those you love. When you quit, you’ll spare them the damaging effects of secondhand smoke and also watching you kill yourself one cigarette a time.
