You know you need to quit smoking. You would have to live under a rock not to have noticed the health warnings and perhaps personal symptoms that smoking is bad for you. Smoking causes death directly and indirectly. It not only kills the smoker but also shortens the lifespan of those around them.

Well I can give you some good reason to stop smoking. Your health and your family’s health. One good way of quitting is to put your money for cigarettes into a jar, then spend that money on something you like. The point is to reward yourself for your achievement. At the same time, hopefully when you see how much money you are paying out to kill yourself, it will give you extra motivation to quit.

There are many ways of quitting smoking, cold turkey being one of the most common. This means that you decide to give up at a certain time on a specific day. From that time onwards, you don’t have another smoke again. Some people have the will power to do this themselves. Others need the help and assistance from a quit line or counseling service. It doesn’t matter how you do it, what is important is that you stop.

If you’ve been a smoker for many years, then you need to regain your health immediately. The average smoker spends $30 a week on their habit. That is over $1,500 a year. That is money that could be spent on much more constructive things or money that could go towards bills and life expenses.

How you look at becoming smoke free will make the difference in beating this one: if you look at it as giving something up, and a difficult task, then that’s what it will be. If, on the other hand, you see it as a relief, as getting rid of something bad, it will be much, much easier.
