Go for it! You will not regret it. Its one of the best things you can do for yourself and your family.

Do it! No matter how ugly, messy, and hard it is. Quitting smoking is the best thing I have ever done for myself. You will not understand it until later in your quit and it happens at a different time for everyone, but quitting smoking is freedom. One day it will dawn on you that you are not answering to or consulting with your nicotine cravings for permission to live your life and that day will be the day that you are free indeed!

First thing I'd tell them is to understand the real reason that they smoke.  Once they resolve that in their own mind the choice to quit will become obvious.

Freedom from is addiction is addicting. Just do it.

Quit for a week then go smell someone who smokes, it stinks! And that will be you, you just can't smell it right now because smoking kills your sense of smell. 

The health benefits should speak for themselves but if you'd like to be attached to an oxygen leash, keep smoking because that's my brutal reality of smoking for 35 years. I didn't quit in time but you hopefully can......

You don't hear successful quitters saying they regret quitting smoking.  It may have been tough early on but they made their lives far better with time.

 

You do, however, hear people who didn't quit smoking say they regret it when dealing with lung cancer, emphysema, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, infertility, losing fingers and toes (Buerger's Disease) and so many other problems people don't initially associate with smoking,

 

I quit for other reasons, not just health, but I had no clue to the number of serious health issues that were directly related to smoking before I quit. 

 

The benefits to quitting are great and the potential horrors of continuing to smoke are great.  It's your choice.

I say Go For It, you have nothing to lose, and lots to gain.

Health and Wealth is greatly improved, what’s not to love

At first it’s a struggle, then you fly free like a bird…

Pondering requires no commitment or action.

Stand up & take control- do something about it

[nicotine_free]

I'd say try thinking of it this way:  The time is going to pass either way so in a year you could be one year free from smoking or not.

Are you ready to take your life back yet @Matthew0225.....
