Why quit?
There are many reasons why you smoke – having a personal reason to quit can really help give you the motivation you need.
Why stop smoking?
Each of us has our own reasons as to why we want to stop smoking. Non smokers tend to be healthier and live longer, which is why the health benefits of stopping smoking are usually at or near the top of the list of reasons to quit.
Stopping smoking has a positive effect on your appearance, this includes slowing down facial ageing and delaying wrinkles. People who stop smoking are also less likely than smokers to get gum disease and lose their teeth. Wanting to have a baby, have more money in your bank account, improve your sex life or do it for those you love are all good reasons to stop smoking.
