Reasons to Quit Smoking!

Welcome to my blog of reasons to quit smoking!!!

Thanks for checking out my blog! This is my first time doing a blog so please be patient with me until I get this mastered. Anyways, I'm super excited and feel like a brand new person since I've become an ex-smoker. I figured since I've finally overcome the biggest challenge I've been facing for years, I may as well set other goals for myself to keep me on my toes, which is why I'm writing today!

My father always told me that it's very important to give back to society. If I experience something that I can take from, then I need to remember to give back. That is why I'm starting this blog. I found a remedy to quit smoking and according to my father, it's my responsibility to share it with you. You can become a non-smoker too!!!

I started smoking when I was in high school and had the idea that I would be able to quit whenever I wanted for 15 years after I started. When I finally convinced myself to quit - I couldn't. My relationship with cigarettes soon changed and as much as I loved them, I hated them too. They owned me....and my bank account!

Finally, my friend talked me into trying Cigalex, which is the electronic cigarette. The concept seemed a little weird to me, but I liked the idea that I could smoke in places where real smoking was banned. Pretty cool! The rest is history and today I've never been happier to say that I'm an ex-smoker.

I'm not going to lie and say that it was super easy because it never is. This was definitely the easiest attempt for me, and successful at that, but one of the most motivating factors was to understand why I had to quit smoking. I really wanted to quit, but there were days that I told myself that I didn't want to, which was always my excuse. Each day I am going to provide reasons why you should become a non-smoker.
