Default 15 Reasons to Quit Smoking

Not sure if any1 had posted tis info b4.

================================================== =

1.That damn –ahem- cough.

2. Your fingers have smelled yucky for long enough.

3. Those price aren’t ever going to come down, you know.

4. The top 3 causes of death in Singapore – Cancer, Heart disease and Stroke- are all smoking related.

5. It’s never too late to quit – just eight hours after you stop, your body will be cleared of nicotine; after one week , all the side effects gone in a poof of smoke; after five years, your risk of heart disease will be the same as that of a non-smoker.

6. So that the galfren/wife/mother/kid/basically-any1-who-really-cares-about-you would get off your back about it once and for all.

7. If she/he is a smoker too, you’ve now given her/him a good reason to stop (you don’t want her/him to die young, do you?)

8. If your excuse is that you’ll put on the pounds after your quit, the average weight-gain quitters undergo is only 2.2kg. 2.2kg versus a slow agonizing death – not a difficult choice at all, we reckon.

9. Admit it, even smokers can’t stand being near a fellow smoker after he’s just had two in a row. And the fellow smoker? He can’t stand being near you either.

10. Dude! It’s 34 degree Celsius outside! You don’t need any more heat.

11. Smoking was cool for a while back in the 70s and 80s. Now it’s just stupid.

12. Erectile dysfunction. (Ouch.)

13. Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, incuding the very toxic cyanide.

14. It’s a fact: men who smoke are 10 times more likely to suffer from lung cancer than their smoke-free counterparts.

15. If you absolutely must kill yourself slowly, there are better ways about it; even greasy burgers sound like more fun.

lets see..

Smoking causes alot of sicknesses and makes you weak. It deteriorates your sense of smell, taste. Throat infections develop, stomach ulcers are more frequent. Breathlessness, coughing and emphysema will be a permanent damage to the lungs. You can get Bronchitis [serious infection of the lungs], Heart disease or attack, High blood pressure, Strokes, Arterial embolism [blood clot in the blood vessel which prevents blood circulation] and cancer.

Ah... I believe you two lifted that off a Health Promotion Board brochure on smoking...

Now are you gonna start telling me something that comes from you or your personal experience, or are you gonna continue plagiarising the darn thing for me...

What's wrong? They are facts okay. In any way, they shouldn't smoke. Okay, they can smoke for all I care, but don't smoke infront of me. So smelly.
