Why I want to Quit Smoking
I want to live a long healthy and productive life.
I don’t want to be strapped to a ventilator when I am 40.
I don’t need cancer in my life.
I am broke as it is, and the cost of smoking is not helping.
I would rather spend my money on other things.
I want to run an ultra marathon in my life.
I want people to be able to smell my cologne and not a disgusting mixture of camels and dolce and gabanna.
I want to wake up without my lungs hurting.
I want to make my friends and family proud.
I don’t want to be a slave to an addiction any longer.
I don’t want to be a statistic.
I want my car to smell nice.
I want to go on the balcony to get fresh air.
I want to break the vicious cycle in which I am not constantly in a mode of craving.
I don’t want to be a slave or an addict.
I don’t need this in my life at all.
I want to set a good example.
I want to be a doctor who is not a hypocrite.
I don’t want my teeth to be yellow.
I want to be free of this.
