The body is a miraculous machine, and can heal itself of almost anything with the proper mental and spiritual energy. However, the side effects of smoking that we usually don't consider are sometimes the most irreversible.

1. Smoking a cigarette takes about 7 minutes. Even if a person only smokes two cigarettes per day, over a 20-year period, that's more than 70 days of smoking time. Heavier smokers who use, say, 10 cigarettes per day would spend over 354 days in smoking time over 20 years. What would you do with an extra year of your life? This is a year without sleeping time, eating time, or anything sles. That time can never be recovered.

2. Smoking is a social cancer. Aside from the obvious environmental impacts of smoking, the habit also fouls the social environment around a person. Smokers tend to hang out with smokers, because non-smokers don't want to smell like them. Smokers in many places are an independent social group. Our peers tend to influence our decisions heavily, even if not consciously. Think of the personal network of a lifelong smoker.

Some things are more than just medical bills.

This is a view of a non smoker, I'm not ashamed to say that I enjoy smoking, Just like You enjoy discussions here, Now lets say that you spent a smiliar amount of time a day on here posting as I do smoking. To a 'non poster' that would be as much a waste in time as smoking is to you. Wasted time is a personal thing, what is wasted time to you is constructive time to me, and vice versa.

I been smoking for 10 years myself. Like an idiot I started because I thought it was cool I wish I never had now but I guess its to late to drown in sorrows and I could quit. Quit yeah thats funny I bet every smoker in the world has tried to quit sometime in their life. 10 cigarettes a day is NOT a heavy smoker, a heavy smoker smokes between 40 and 60 cigarettes a day. I smoke between 20 and 30 a day.
