Why does it matter if i quit smoking?

Question

everyones gonna die sometime

Answer 1

That may be the dumbest reason I have ever heard to continue smoking.

Obviously, you don't care about yourself or anyone else. Not to mention, you stink. You, your clothes, your car...probably your house. Disgusting.

Answer 2

Of course everyone dies!!! There are 2 questions you have to answer:

How soon do you want to die?
How much do you want to suffer before you die?

Smoking is unbelievably bad for you. It affects you in sooo many ways, none of which are positive. Have you ever gone running as fast as you can and then felt the extreme discomfort whilst trying to catch your breath? The pain in your chest and the constant feeling of pushing yourself to breathe? Because if you smoke, that is how you will live out the last few YEARS of your life, 24 hours, 7days a week.

I've seen people who have had bits of their throat cut out because of cancer, with tubes to breathe. Yet they still smoke with a cigarette in the tube, and do they regret smoking...YES! They just cant quit. So quit while you can, before you regret the damage you are doing to your body.

Answer 3

unless it matters to you or a significant other, than it doesn't matter. I quit smoking about 13 years ago because I decided to, not because someone thought i should. I still believe that if someone wants to smoke than they should have the right to. I used to say that if I'm going to die anyway, i might as well go happy. I still believe this. The only thing that i might add to this is that both smokers and non-smokers need to respect each others right to smoke or not to smoke. this means that if your around non-smokers you should refrain from smoking around them and if there's a group of smokers than a non-smoker shouldn't complain about them.

Answer 4

The choice is to die withered, old, and wrinkly or young while leaving a good looking corpse. Then again, they say that "smoking kills," but for some reason I keep seeing old guys buying cigarettes... apparently those guys didn't get that memo.

If it makes you happy and you feel you can't live without smoking, it's both your right and decision to keep smoking!

Answer 5

I could say something like "Amen keep smoking." and get the best answer, but what you are saying does seem sorta selfish, but I really don't know you, or what your life islike to give you that point of view, but I can say in experience once you find something in life worth living for, you won't want to let it go. My step dad has smoked since he was 14, and has lung cancer, he recently met my mom and they are madly in love, and now that he has found something worth living for, it is too late. You dont' have to stop now, but it will help if you make an attempt to.

((My step dad had the "we are all gonna die someday" attitude >_<))

Answer 6

wouldn't you rather die of old age? My father died of lung cancer and believe me it was not a pretty sight. He had to have chemo and lost his hair, got sores in his mouth where he could not eat or drink and was so cold a blanket would not keep him warm. He was in great pain and agony and finally passed away within days.

Answer 7

smoking shortens your life though and u want a long happy life not a short unhappy life, well I would hope u would and quitting smoking will fulfill ur life with health. ;)

Answer 8

but you are going to die sooner and smoking takes all your money, you can be spending it on other things then somthing that is killing you faster. you lungs are just going to get bad and badder then your going to end up in the hospital and that is going to cost alot. so your killing yourself and lossing all your money...

Answer 9

Don't quit... its your choice just make sure you don't smoke around people who actually prefer not raising their chances of getting cancer.

Answer 10

You'll be very popular with the whiny, over intellectual Liberal pro-government goons that try to regulate every persons every moment while taking all their money to pay taxes.
