You started out feeling the time was right, but for whatever reason, you're smoking again. Now, you're asking whether it's worth it to try quitting again. You bet it is!
Smoking is a dangerous and self-destructive habit. Various poisons contained within tobacco smoke cause or contribute to cancer of the mouth and lungs, heart problems, emphysema, gum disease and a variety of other physical diseases.
Cigarette smoking is the most preventable cause of premature death in the United States . That’s important! Want evidence of the dangers of smoking?
Consider these statistics:
A smoker’s risk of heart attack is more than twice that of nonsmokers. Cigarette smoking is the biggest risk factor for sudden cardiac death -- smokers are looking at two to four times the risk of nonsmokers. Studies have shown that cigarette smoking is also an important risk factor for stroke. The evidence also indicates that chronic exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke, passive smoking) may increase the risk of heart disease.
Most smokers sincerely want to quit. They know cigarettes threaten their health, set a bad example for their children, annoy their acquaintances and cost an inordinate amount of money.
Nobody can force a smoker to quit. It's something each person has to decide for himself., Sometimes the cigarette is used as a tranquilizer.. Once a smoker understands his own smoking behavior, he will be able to cope more successfully and select the best quitting approaches for himself and the type of life-style he leads.
Quitting is hard, but don't give up!
Quit smoking Now! For better Life,,!!!

This isn't philosophy, Roseman. Not really appropriate to post it in this sub-forum.

Ontop of that, you fail to recognize the fact that smoking is both cool and enjoyable.

And after living on health food, not smoking, not drinking, you'll find yourself on a hospital bed, dying of.........NOTHING

The smoker says it is his desire to smoke & he is merely carrying out that wish. The reality, in some cases, may be that on other occassions he dosen't wan't to smoke - but simply can't go too long without one.

Oddly enough I stopped a ten year smoking habit by rekindling my interest in philosophical books & poetry. (That's not what I told my buddies at the pub though ;))
Almost immediately I stopped smoking, never craved for one & somehow know I'll never smoke again. It wasn't even something I set out to do & neither did I "decide" to - I just did.
I'm uncertain what happened there, but with reflection it occured to me that to alter a habit on the subconcious level it would take more than statistics, warning labels, scary ads, hard facts, ultimatums or even oaths.

Find a subtle solution for a subtle problem. Don't try to stop when you got no cigarrettes either, that's just unavailability - quit while you're ahead.

Good Luck :)

And after living on health food, not smoking, not drinking, you'll find yourself on a hospital bed, dying of.........NOTHINGRather live a healthy and enjoyable life than die of smoking, but then I smoke myself so...but it's a ridiculous statement since it gives the sense that if you quit smoking and drinking then you have no life. Isn't life more than that?
