Just Another Day

Hello everyone. Day 4 on Chantix is going well so far. I'm really tired from the sinus infection and staying up too late last night. One minute at a time and before you know it I'll be snoozing in bed tonight. =)

I will leave you with these thoughts:

  • A one pack-a-day smoker, who pays at least $3 per pack, can expect to save more than $1,000 per year by quitting.
  • When you quit smoking, you help prevent your children from smoking.
  • In the long term, quitting smoking reduces your risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and lung diseases like emphysema and bronchitis
  • In the short term, quitting smoking reduces respiratory problems, dental problems, nervousness, and depression.
  • People who quit, no matter what their age, live longer than people who continue to smoke.
  • More than 4,000 individual compounds have been identified in tobacco and tobacco smoke. Among these are about 60 that cause cancer.
  • Quitting smoking could lower your cholesterol.
  • Women who smoke generally experience menopause earlier in life.
  • Smokers who quit before age 50 have half the risk of dying in the next 15 years compared to those who continue to smoke.

Have a wonderful day!

God Bless,

The Quitter
