smokingThe number of people smoking tobacco across Augusta County is falling, and that’s a pattern which is being replicated right across America. The main reason for this is that people of all ages are waking up to the health risks that cigarettes and cigars pose. Stopping smoking, cutting back your alcohol intake, watching your calories and exercising more increases our chances of living a long and healthy life, but whilst important that’s not the only reason it makes sense to say no to smoking. Life’s just more fun when you turn away from tobacco, as these three examples show.

Feel Fitter and Ready to Take on Life

The health effects of long-term smoking, as we now all know, are often hugely detrimental and have been linked to potentially deadly diseases such as cancer and heart disease. As most smokers know, it can also affect your health on a day to day basis, even when you’re ostensibly suffering from no illness. Smokers often get used to shortness of breath when running or climbing the stairs, headaches if they haven’t smoked in a while, and a rattling cough in the morning, but why you should you put up with this in your life? You’ll be amazed how quickly these symptoms disappear when you cease smoking, and that leaves you feeling much healthier and much happier too. With raised energy levels, you’ll really be able to take on the world.

Boost Your Libido

Without being too frank, there’s not much in life that’s better than sharing a passionate embrace with the one you love, but regular smoking can have a detrimental effect on that too, which can be bad news for you, your partner, and your relationship. Scientific studies have shown that smoking can lead to loss of libido, poor stamina, and erectile dysfunction, but the good news is that quitting smoking and adopting a healthier lifestyle can give you back a healthy love life too; let’s face it, it’s the most fun you can have for free.

Have Fun with Vaping

While cigarette and cigar smoking has fallen dramatically, the number of people vaping has rapidly increased. That’s because it allows the user to enjoy the physical sensations of smoking without all the harmful effects associated with it, and many people use it to help them quit smoking for this reason. Vaping is much more fun than smoking because the vape sticks themselves look great, there are lots of exciting flavors, and you can learn vape tricks too. You can learn more about how to do vape tricks from the respected vape retailers Mt Baker Vapor. You’ll soon love doing the dragon, tornado, jellyfish and more.

Stopping smoking can bring huge benefits to you and your family, and once you’ve quit everyone will notice how much healthier and happier you look. Your partner may notice another improvement too. If you’re finding it hard to cease smoking, vaping could be a big help or speak to your pharmacist or physician. Stop smoking today and discover a fun new life.
