Some tips to why you should quit smoking. When in a relationship that involves both a smoker and non smoker, many times smoking will end up becoming a big issue in the relationship. A non smoker usually has a hard time dealing with the smell of smoke on clothing and in hair. They may also complain that kissing a smoker is like kissing an ashtray. A non smoker may also make many attempts at getting a smoker to quit, which can result in resentment.
Smoking can leave a mess on a few different ways. One way is the litter it causes on the streets of where we live, and another are things that happened within a house when smoking occurs such as, yellow walls and pictures, residue on surfaces like T.V. and computer screens, an increase of dust, and the smokers smell that never seems to go away. A main reason to quit smoking is because of money wasted- if it’s assumed that someone smokes one pack of cigarettes a day at $4 a pack, this smoker spends $1,460 a year on cigarettes alone. At a period of ten years this smoker would have been able to save, invest or use $14,600 in a more efficient way than buying cigarettes.
In 1-9 months after quitting smoking: within the first 24 hours- there is a drop in blood pressure, elevates temperature in hands and feet, oxygen levels become normal, and your chance of a heart attack decreases. After 48 hours- sense of smell and taste increases and nerve endings begin regrowth. After 72 hours- breathing becomes easier after bronchial tubes relax and lung capacity increases. After 2-3 months- lung ability increases by as much as 30%, circulation improves, and walking is easier. Between 1-9 months- body energy level increases, lungs increase their ability to handle mucus, and shortness of breath decreases.

I hate smoking so I liked that you listed many reasons or problems that can arise from smoking. Most people don't listen to the many reasons to quit so it was good that you included the different ways your health would improve after you stop smoking.
In my opinion, not smoking is one of the easiest ways to prevent all too common diseases such as lung cancer and emphysema. There are no positive health benefits of smoking cigarettes whatsoever. Therefore, it baffles me that someone would be careless enough about their health and longevity that they would choose to smoke. Despite having friends and family members who smoke, I am happy to say that I have never smoked a cigarette in my life, nor have I ever had the slightest urge to do so. Not to mention, the cost of smoking cigarettes over a life time will most deffinately have a negative effect on your health as well as your wallet. Good article.
I like how you put down after you quit how your body almost instantly starts to improve. I know a lot of people that smoke that could benefit from hearing things like that.
