Reasons to Quit Smoking.

5.31.2008

Beyond all of the obvious benefits of quitting smoking (such as an extended lifespan and a fatter bank account), let me offer a few other reasons to quit for any smokers out there.

  • Peee-yooo. Let me clear up any doubts on this matter. Non-smokers can smell your cigarettes, active and past. You cannot smell it for the same reason that crazy cat lady cannot smell her urine soaked rugs - acclimation.
  • Boooring! You addiction is obvious by your stepping outside every so often to feed it, and it interrupts the wonderful conversation we were having. Don't you wonder what you're missing when we're still inside?
  • Creepy. I saw a stripper taking a smoke break outside the Lusty Lady last week. OK, I'm not positive she was a stripper. She was wearing high heels and a full length trench coat, and trying not to be seen - draw your own conclusions. If I were her, having to stand outside downtown Seattle in stripper clothes and a trench coat would be a huge motivator for quitting.

If I can quit smoking, everybody can quit smoking! I recommend the gum. When I was smoking outside, I knew, just knew the nonsmoking insiders were praying for my nicotine-stained soul, which didn't seem to help as much as the gum.

I wish everyone who smokes could see the suffering my father endured when he was treated for lung cancer. People seem to think they are invincible, or they simply don't think far enough down the road. The doctor told me that long time smokers who quit can have lung cancer show up 10-20 years later. Kudos to Maggie for quitting.
