Why One Should Quit Smoking

Different people have different reasons as to why they would like to quit smoking. The main reason as to why any person would like to quit smoking is because it can cause a lot of harm to their health.

There are more than four thousand different kinds of poisons, which are present inside one cigarette. These cigarettes can cause some kind of serious damage to the lungs and it could also result in lung cancer.

One of the other reasons as to why people decide to quit smoking is because they feel that they are wasting a lot of money on cigarettes and they feel that money is too precious to be wasted on something like this, which will eventually go up in smoke. They feel that money gets burnt every time cigarettes are being purchased. They feel that this money can be used for a more constructive purpose instead of letting it go up in smoke.

Apart from their own health, people who smoke are also causing a lot of damage to the health of people who are living around them.
