Things to consider
Stop Smoking (1) session
~ There are 599 allowable additives used in the manufacturing of cigarettes.
Many of these chemicals are TOXIC and or CARCINOGENIC.
~ An average of 12 years of precious life years lost to smoking.
~ An estimated 400,000+ lives are lost to smoking related diseases each year.
~ Cigarette smokers have a higher risk of developing several chronic disorders. These include fatty buildups in arteries, several types of cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung problems). Atherosclerosis (buildup of fatty substances in the arteries) is a chief contributor to the high number of deaths from smoking. Many studies detail the evidence that cigarette smoking is a major cause of coronary heart disease, which leads to heart attack.

~Research shows that smokers loose more teeth than nonsmokers do. In fact, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only about 20 percent of people over age 65 who have never smoked are toothless, while a whopping 41.3 percent of daily smokers over age 65 are toothless. ~ Smoking causes an increased risk of macular degeneration, one of the most common causes of blindness in older people. It also causes premature wrinkling of the skin, bad breath, gum and tooth problems, bad-smelling clothes and hair, yellow fingernails. Interesting facts: 12 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal. (U.S. Surgeon General's Report, 1988, p. 202) 2 weeks to 3 months after quitting: Your circulation improves and your lung function increases. (U.S. Surgeon General's Report, 1990, pp. 193, 194, 196, 285, 323) 1 to 9 months after quitting: Coughing and shortness of breath decrease; cilia (tiny hair-like structures that move mucus out of the lungs) regain normal function in the lungs, increasing the ability to handle mucus, clean the lungs, and reduce the risk of infection. (U.S. Surgeon General's Report, 1990, pp. 285-287, 304) 1 year after quitting: The excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's. (U.S. Surgeon General's Report, 1990, p. vi) 5 years after quitting: Your stroke risk is reduced to that of a non-smoker 5 to 15 years after quitting. (U.S. Surgeon General's Report, 1990, p. vi) 10 years after quitting: The lung cancer death rate is about half that of a person who continues smoking. The risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, cervix, and pancreas decrease, too.(U.S. Surgeon General's Report, 1990, pp. vi, 131, 148, 152, 155, 164, 166) 15 years after quitting: The risk of coronary heart disease is the same as a non-smoker's.(U.S. Surgeon General's Report, 1990, p. vi) Immediate rewards of quitting: Kicking the tobacco habit offers some benefits that you'll notice right away and some that will develop over time. These rewards can improve your day-to-day life a great deal: Imagine, all it takes is twenty minutes for the healing to begin.

Incentive: Even birds can be victims: A 2007 study found a link between secondhand smoke, lung cancer, and eye, skin, and heart problems in pet birds.In the survey, 28.4% of smokers said they would consider quitting after learning that secondhand smoke posed a danger to their pet. One in five smoking pet owners said they would ban smoking inside their home.
Follow me as we go a little deeper.
If a pack of cigarettes is $8.50 a pack, that's $255.00 a month if your a (1) pk a day smoker, $510.00 a month if (2) packs are what you crave.
In a years time you would have saved $3,060.00(1pk) and $ 6,120.00(2pk) which is enough money to take a beautiful island vacation, pay down a few months worth of mortgage payments or in 5 years time enough to purchase a brand new car outright.
Just Some more Incentive:
George Korin (veterinarian) By Mara Betsch
Secondhand smoke causes almost 50,000 deaths in adult nonsmokers in the United States each year, and there’s a mountain of evidence that secondhand smoke can affect a pet’s health as well. George Korin is a New York City veterinarian who has “seen bronchial disease in both dogs and cats, either due to home environment or air quality.” Studies have linked smoke exposure to oral cancer and lymphoma in cats and nasal and lung cancer in dogs, says Korin, who was not involved in the new survey.

Now, you at home, if you are looking for another good reason to quit smoking, here's one.
Look at that face. I'll tell you what secondhand smoke can do to your pets and little doggies.
GUPTA: We are back with HOUSE CALL.
You know, you've already heard about the dangers secondhand smoke can have on you and your family's health. Now, if that's not reason enough to quit, then, I'm not sure what is. But if you need one more motivation, consider the effects it might also have on your pets.
GUPTA (voice-over): Beth Labauve has five dogs and two cats at home. And she takes care of other pets for a living. But until just year ago, Beth says she spent as much time putting pets in harm's way as she did taking care of them.
BETH LABAUVE, FORMER SMOKER: I smoked a pack a day for about six or seven years. And I knew it wasn't good for the pets to be around it. So, I didn't smoke in the house, but I did smoke in my car.
GUPTA: And when her 8-year-old dog, Otto (Ph), passed away from lymphoma, Betty worried that she might be next, and wondered if she may have caused it.
LABAUVE: If smoke got near him, he would sneeze. And his coat -- if he was in the car long enough, his coat would smell like smoke. And I'd tell myself that I was not the cause of it, but it definitely -- from what I've read, it can lead to cancer in dogs. GUPTA: She's not alone. According to a new study from the Henry Ford Health System in Michigan, about a third of pet owners surveyed were smokers or lived with a smoker. And almost a third of them said they might quit if they knew it would affect their pets.
Veterinarian, Dr. Jennifer Rudolph, says smoking can affect pets in much the same way as humans.
~DR. JENNIFER RUDOLPH, VETERINARIAN: We can see an increase incident of bronchitis, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and also, secondhand smoke can be linked to different types of cancer in cats.
GUPTA: As for Beth, she's now living smoke-free. And both she and her pets are breathing much easier.
LABUAVE: Everything smells nicer and I feel better and can walk more and do more activities without feeling crummy. My dogs now at least have a smoke-free life and no smoke in their lives.

Sleep troubles
Note: Sleep is an important factor with relation to living a happy healthy life.
