Many
of already know that smoking is costing us $1000's and $1000's
of dollars every year. Cigarettes are more expensive
than ever averaging $4.50 per pack.
The
average smoker smokes 40 cigarettes a day - that's a $9.00 a
day habit. In one week alone the average smoker spends
$63.00 in cigarettes or $270.00 per month! That's $3,240
per year - to kill yourself.
And
that's just the beginning...
Then
there's all the associated health problems. Did you know
1 out of every 4 smokers dies of a smoking related death?
If you are between the ages of 30-40 you are 5 times more
likely to drop dead of a stroke than a non-smoker.
Smoking
is the #1 cause of preventable death in the world!
But
fortunately for you, on the way you get lots and lots of
smoking related illnesses like colds, coughs, weakened immune
system, emphysema, cancer, heart disease, etc. and
what's more fun than going to the doctor again and again?
Then
there's also all the air fresheners, breath mints, whitening
tooth pastes, colognes and all the other stuff you use to
cover up that nasty smell. Why? Because it's not
even socially acceptable anymore. Most people detest the
smell of smoke and hate when others smoke around us.
So
why in the world don't we stop when we know it's expensive, we
know it's bad for us, and nobody wants to be around us when
we're doing it?
After
all, would you pay someone $9.00 a day to cover you in disease
infested feces? I know that's extreme - but think about
it? It's the same thing...so why do we do it?
There
is one answer and one answer only: FEAR
(False evidence appearing real)
 FEAR
that it's going to be painful
.
FEAR
that life won't be
enjoyable without it.
FEAR
that you'll gain weight
or become a jerk.
FEAR
that you'll miss it.
FEAR
that cigarettes will haunt you for the rest of your life.
These
are all examples of what gets in the way. And they all
boil down to one this..
The
ONLY reason you haven't quit:
