1.You’ll Live Longer if You Quit Smoking

To quit smoking is to literally gain a new lease on life. "There's no single thing you can do to your body on a regular basis that's as negative as smoking," says Thomas Glynn, PhD, director of cancer science and trends and international cancer control for the American Cancer Society. "The Surgeon General said it causes damage to nearly every organ in your body."

About half of all smokers who continue with their habit will die of a smoking-related disease, according to the American Cancer Society. Cancer is the biggie, of course; smoking is linked to 15 forms of cancer. Then there's lung disease, heart disease, and other smoking-related illnesses. Male smokers lose an average of 13.2 years of life due to smoking, while female smokers lose an average of 14.5 years of life.

2. Sense of smell & taste

Smelling like an ashtray isn't the only impact smoking has on the nose. Smokers also experience a dulling of their senses; smell and taste in particular take a hit when you smoke.

Smokers can't appreciate the taste of many foods as intensely as they did before smoking, but it's really the loss of the sense of smell that diminishes the ability to taste, notes Andrew Spielman, DMD, PhD, associate dean for academic affairs and professor of basic science and craniofacial biology at the NYU School of Dentistry.

3.SMOKING & SOCIAL LIFE

Although experts have exposed all the health risks for the body, which also affect smokers’ appearance, you might think that smoking is cool. We can’t blame you – it’s a huge industry with companies fighting for the positive image of smoking. For women, cigarettes were even seen as the ‘torches of freedom’ as they empowered their role in society. On top of that, many movies have promoted smoking as something sexually appealing.

Social smoking might be a way to meet new people, but with all the new smoking regulations and smoke-free areas, smokers are becoming more and more isolated from people’s social life.

Smoking isn't definitly a good think ... if you're smoking please think at this : "Life is more fun than cancer".

STOP SMOKING NOW ! ENJOY YOUR LIFE ,NOT THOSE CIGARRETTES !
