♥ Top 10 bad excuses to smoke (& why they’re lame) ♥
- My grandmother smoked until she was 90. * Some people are lucky, and she might have lived healthier and happier to 110.
- I enjoy smoking. Why should I quit? * Your addiction has tricked your brain into believing you enjoy it.
- You’ve gotta die of something. * Yeah – but why kill yourself?
- This is a bad time to quit. I’m too stressed right now. * Pick a time in the near future when you won’t be so stressed. And stick to it. Or (who are you kidding?) admit that you’re never going to be free of stress, and just do it now.
- I’m afraid I’ll gain weight if I quit. * Yeah, we addressed that already here and here.
- I exercise every day and I’m in better shape than most non-smokers. * Your lungs aren’t in better shape.
- Smoking is part of my persona and gives me character. * Nice try, Bette Davis! Wouldn’t it be cooler to have a healthy persona?
- Smoking is like a good friend. * Good friends don’t age you, control you, and then kill you. Time to dump this “friend.”
- I’m already getting lung pollution from smog and second-hand smoke. * That’s like saying, “I’ve already had a beer; I might as well have a six-pack!”
- I only smoke occasionally. * Then why bother? Why risk so much for so little?
