Benefits of quitting smoking

[leahcaR]

No more stank breath for others to breathe as I talk to them.

 

I can smell the shampoo in my hair when the wind blows. lol

 

Yes! I love the smelling my hair part. Mmm

[El Bandito]

So is that picture of you in your avatar before or after you quit smoking?

That my ***** Cat friend is Before...

 

The After is just too hot... for here. 

 

(I am actually Actions Fatter funnier brother.... ;) )

[sharonsiff]

Today's benefit for me....

 

Husband has just mowed the lawn, the smell....just beautiful.

[Leanna]

Not having to desperately count money in hopes of having enough for a pack of cigs!

[Ladybug]

I don't have cold hands or feet anymore....I just noticed that the other day and it surprised me. I always had cold hands and feet, even in summer....that was a big eye opener!

[Petra]

Got rid of the nasty throat clearing thing I had to do all the time!

 

I was a major closet smoker, if I were out & about town, I would have to drive and go find some hiding place to smoke.  PA-thetic!!!  I was constantly afraid I would see someone I knew.  

 

No more rushing to get home so I could smoke in the dark cold smelly garage and "enjoy" (not) my smoke in peace.

Lol...that made be laugh. I have just to do my Bonnie Tyler number on our karaoke nights...betting I will now be pants, just ain't got the voice anymore...lol...

[Rain Forest]

I am a person that laughs a lot... it's awesome to laugh without starting to cough up a lung 5 seconds later :)

[Soberjulie]

Hahaha....watched a girl light a cigarette outside the restaurant I was leaving.

I think she was using one of those cheepie imitation bic lighters....the flame went so big she singed her bangs.

 

So glad that will never be me again. :)

[Jengelsnew1]

No more lighting the filter end by mistake...GAWD that would taste horrible

[Leanna]

That was the worst Jengelsnew! God, I remember that taste... gag.

 

When I used to smoke in a car or vehicle of any kind, we'd throw the ashes into a water bottle or can. 

 

No more accidentally drinking from that bottle/can! 

 

GAG. 

[...]

I will get to spend more time with my children.

 

And they won't have to change my diaper cause I've had a debilitating heart attack or a stroke.

 

Don't misunderstand me.....I'm still gonna make em change my diaper. But because I'm mean like that. Not because I decided to kill myself slowly.

[TAC]

noe more coughing.

[Sazerac]

Benefits after Five years ?

 

Continued improvements in breathing and skin tone, taste and scent also, heart and circulation.

My flu or colds do not degenerate into bronchitis.

I have no cough. 

 

I never think about smoking anymore. 

I may have a vague memory,  'oh, I used to smoke during moments like this'   

but, this is without temptation or desire.

 

As the years go by, I am prouder and prouder of myself for dealing successfully with my nicotine addiction 

and have greater compassion for those still in the throes of addiction.
