One of my clients sells electronic cigarettes. Love them or not they may be a viable alternative to giving up smoking. The only thing I know is that I get to be funny and my client appreciates it.
We’ve talked about the harmful effects of smoking caused by the over 4,000 chemicals found inside of them. Of course we all know that smoking is bad for you but how about the benefits of quitting? The benefits are huge and not just for you but for everyone around you.
Better breath. Smoking causes all kinds of icky things to happen to the inside of your mouth like diseased gums and deteriorating tissue. This means you smell and taste awful to those who get close to you. And we want to get close to you.
We look better to you. Smokers run twice the risk of developing cataracts compared to non-smokers. You also run a higher risk of Type 2 diabetes that leads to degeneration of the retina and blindness. Oh, and macular degeneration as well.
You look better to us. A smoker has an increased risk of developing psoriasis and skin wrinkling. Free radicals in smoke damage your skin tissue and reduces elasticity. In other words, you look older. Don’t look older.
Now that we look and smell good we want to have your baby. Giving up smoking will increase your chances of fathering a child because smoking reduces sperm counts and makes for deformed and damaged little swimmers.
Smoking makes your tummy ache. Forty-five percent of all stomach ulcers are found in smokers. Nicotine interacts with the parasympathetic nervous system and lets excess stomach acid into your esophagus and small intestine. Well, that’s just gross.
You won’t explode. An aortic aneurism is the ballooning of the aorta which can lead to its rupturing that causes massive internal bleeding and a pretty quick death. Smokers have 57% of all aortic aneurisms.
We’ll still have each other. People who smoke die early, plain and simple. If you want to stick around to see how we all turn out you’re going to need to quit smoking.
