I can hear it now. "***Oh! No she didn't! How cliche!"
Meh, deal with it and smile =)
Why are you allowing yourself to live with smoking? You already know it's bad for you! I'm not going to bore you with a ton of statistics or plea's to stop now. I will give you just a few that you may not be considering.
1. The CDC estimates that adult male
smokers lose an average of 13.2 years of life and female smokers
lose 14.5 years of life because of smoking, and given the diseases
that smoking can cause, it can steal your quality of life long
before you die.
2. Tobacco is responsible for nearly
one in every five deaths in the United States and is the largest
cause of preventable death.
3. Right now, nearly one in every five of those deaths means there are children that are mourning the loss of their parent. A loss that is devastating. That could have been prevented.
We all know that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. There are things that we can do to make it a better situation if we are here tomorrow.
If you have ever suffered the loss of a significant other, parent, or sibling, and you are a parent that smokes, I ask you...do you remember that feeling? Why would you want to put your kids through that!?!
Is your child's well being enough of a reason for you to win?
