Quitting Smoking for Sexual Health 101
Welcome to the Penis Enlargement and Men's Health Information Blog's Quitting Smoking for Sexual Health 101.
The Quitting Smoking Challenge
Asking someone to quit smoking is like asking them to move mountains. In fact for some, moving mountains is far more realistic a request than quitting smoking.
As a smoker of some 34 years and counting, it is difficult to believe and even harder to admit that I have seriously (and at times half-heartedly) been trying to quit smoking now for more than 20 of those years. During this time, I have lost many a smoking companion. Oh ya, some just quit the habit, but then some just up and died!
Repeated Efforts to Quit Smoking
In my efforts to quit, there have actually been periods of time without smoking and periods of time enjoying the occasional 'social smoke' without the erge to run out and buy a pack.
To this day I don't smoke in the mornings and I don't smoke at work, which means there is a long period of time each day that is smoke free. But in the end, I am still a smoker, albeit a less than a pack a day smoker, and a whole lot less than the two pack a day habit I used to beat myself up with, but none the less still a smoker!
So, thinking an extra couple of hundred bucks a month to indulge myself in worldly pleasures would be nice, I find myself revisiting the idea of quitting smoking all together.
Quitting Smoking Experiences
Having learned from experience that quitting smoking takes more than simply pondering the thought, I've decided to offer the following as a repentance of my smoking sins in the hope that perhaps it may entice just one smoking soul to hang up the habit forever!
Reasons for Quitting Smoking...
As the anti-smoking propaganda can attest to, there are many reasons to quit smoking. The main one is your health. Statistically speaking, if you smoke then you're likely to die of smoking related causes.
Smoking Addiction Denial
Most of us are so far in denial about our smoking that we actually make a jokes about it. It's like a competition to the end, and it's the liver versus the lungs.
Over 4000 Chemicals
The thing is though, when you realize that there are over 4000 different chemicals in a cigarette, many of them highly carcinogenic (they even include a little embalming fluid to get you started), you quickly realized that it isn't much of a race.
Which ever organ wins, you still lose!
The Financial Cost of Smoking
The cost is another major motivator to quite smoking. Where I live, a pack of smokes currently cost between $8.50 and $10.00 depending on the brand and the store you buy them in. In the past 10 years, cigarettes have more than doubled in price.
Maybe I'm aging myself, but when I first started smoking they were less than three bucks a pack. No more scrounging up pocket change for a pack, now it means a trip to the bank machine!
Regardless, if you are going to quit smoking, experts agree that you have to find your own reasons for doing so, and like any addiction, you can only quit when you are good and ready to do so.
