Other disadvantages of smoking: You must always carry cigarettes and matches; your pockets bulge - or there's less space in your purse; smelly breath; smelly house; smelly clothes; messy rugs and furniture, often burned; cigarettes lying around for kids to smoke (and matches to light); you're a bad influence on kids; you're held in low esteem by your kids and your friends (even your smoking friends); the inside of your home and auto windows need cleaning more often; death or property loss due to smoking in bed.
Wouldn't it be nice if everyone quit smoking? There'd be less general litter, no more butts, ashes, or wrappers in the streets, grass, urinals, etc.; no more smoke in restaurants, theaters, airplanes or buses; a more alert society, with more spare time to enjoy or improve their lot in life; fewer auto, plane, on-the-job, and household accidents; fewer forest fires; less air pollution; lower auto and life insurance rates; and fewer people coughing and spitting in public. By inflicting smoke on your non-smoking friends, it's been shown that even THEIR health and life expectancy are adversely affected.
SMOKING IS A FILTHY HABIT.
and also, tell your friend that - Life's too good and too short to waste on that filthy habit. Goodluck.

$1,000's of dollars up in smoke per year
wrinkles come sooner
smell
chest coughs
cancer
death
dont really need any more, if looking 60 when you are 45 is not a put off, and if death isnt even a worry, you will not succeed in converting them back to being a non-smoker.
just like trying to make an idiot see his idiocy... its an infinite loop of wasted breath...

Lung cancer. Emphysema. Increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Premature ageing of the skin. Discolouration and staining of the teeth. Smokers get sick more often because smoking affects the immune system. Possible erectile dysfunction (if your friend is male). Money - someone who spends 20 bucks a week on cigs will spend more than $1000 per year. Smoke for 30 years, and that's 30 grand! Not to mention having to pay more for life insurance than non-smokers. Hardening of the arteries, which, apart from heart disease, can cause many circulation problems. Cancer of the mouth and throat. Increased risk of developing cancer in parts of the body not directly affected by the smoke. Significantly shortened life expectancy. Hope that helps!
