It looks like you still see a lot of positives about smoking and you may be a little hesitant to take action. We encourage you to think about your life and your personal reasons for smoking. We also encourage you to spend a bit of time thinking about the positive aspects of quitting. Most people cite improved health and reduced risk of many devastating smoking-related illnesses. Others are motivated by financial savings, freedom from the addiction, or setting a positive example for their children or grandchildren.
