Dying For A Smoke

Just Remember

If you really are dying for a smoke, just remember the Grim Reaper poem, in which he tries to welcome all those who say they are dying for a smoke. The escape route is to stop smoking.

If you want to quit smoking it's time you made a start because there's no time like the present. There is not a moment to spare, because every minute you continue smoking you damage your health, and there really is no point to dying for a smoke. It has been suggested that a cigarette is just a tube with a flame at one end and a sucker at the other. Well, don't get sucked into thinking that you can get away with.

You can't get away from the fact, that sooner rather than later smoking will damage your health. The amount you smoke, and the period of time you have smoked, obviously have a bearing on the issue. But the crucial thing to remember is that all smoking is bad for you, and that includes passive smoking, which is being exposed to the second hand smoke of a careless person. Just because a person is dying for a smoke, does not give them the right to endanger others.

Many people claim to have known somebody who has smoked all their lives and got away with it. The truth is that they didn't, and they would have been healthier if they had not smoked. For the vast majority, smoking is one of the most dangerous pastimes on earth that should be avoided like the plague. The good news is that if you stop smoking earlier enough you have a good chance of making a complete recovery. However, if you don't quit smoking you are at risk from a range of diseases, including various cancers and cardiovascular disease, that frequently prove to be fatal. If that doesn't convince you that it's not worth dying for a smoke - what will?
