Im trying to stop smoking but Im not sure if I really want to -- is it really that bad? -

I-m 25 and have smoked for the last five years or so. I was smoking about a half a pack a day, but now am down to just 3-5 cigarettes a day. Problem is I really enjoy smoking and am not sure that just smoking a few a day is really that bad for my health. I mean aren-t all the warnings about how smoking causes cancer based on people smoking a pack a day for like 40 years? After all, I am still young and I don-t smoke that much.Getting cancer or other things from it vary from person to person. I have relatives who have smoked for 30 yrs and are quite ok. But then there are people who only do it for a few years and get cancer.I was in the same predicament as you about a month ago, I found it helped by not smoking in your car and hanging around people who didn-t smoke. I was really worried about the cravings I would have, like being really irritable and really wanting one to maybe even getting physically ill, but I was actually really happy when I quit. I don-t even think twice about it. When I was starting to quit I would smoke a cigarette in the morning and one at night, then I just quit all together.Just picture how awful your lungs are................................keep picturing...............................… at the lungs of a smoker and BELIEVE ME,if that doesnt stop you then you are indeed in some serious trouble.

I dont judge,I smoked for about a year when i was 15.
im 17 now and just to see people smoking makes me wanna get away from them.

It messes TOO much with your body and image....with all the credible knowledge and scientific information that is out about -smoking-, you must enjoy committing suicide on the installment plan ! (then too, you must be a very wealthy person... how much is a pack of that -crap- today...?)http://quitsmoking.about.com/od/tobaccorelateddiseases/a/smokingrisks.htm
