| In this article I am going to write about the reasons | | | | them. |
| why I believe people should stop smoking. I hope it | | | | My colleagues at work started to comment on the |
| proves to be an inspiration for many people who are | | | | fact that I was smoking and stated that my clothes |
| potentially thinking of quitting these cancer sticks | | | | really stunk of cigarettes. People in my opinion |
| once and for all. Smoking does and will have a | | | | started to treat me differently, it was like I was a |
| negative impact on your life if of course you continue | | | | second class citizen. I decided that I needed to stop |
| with this nasty habit, therefore it is definately worth | | | | smoking for these and other reasons, especially as I |
| starting to look for the best ways to quit smoking. | | | | did not really enjoy it that much apart from when I |
| I have to admit that I used to be a smoker, I was | | | | was in a bar of course. |
| never on lets say twenty a day but was more of | | | | I stopped smoking for five main reasons: |
