Reasons Not To Smoke

There are so many reasons why you shouldn’t smoke.  Many would just tell you the health issues of why you shouldn’t smoke.  Though these are very important they aren’t the only reasons why you shouldn’t smoke.  Sure you run the risks of lung cancer and heart trouble from smoking.  As well as a shorter life and a hard time being able to do physical activities for very long.  I really want you to understand the many other reasons that should deter you from smoking.

First you have to look at your want to have a girlfriend.  Many girls dislike guys who smoke.  The find it disgusting and as much as people will tell you it looks cool it really doesn’t.  If your lucky and a girl will actually date you knowing that you smoke you still run the risk of her having to deal with your second hand smoke.  Second hand smoke is said to be even worse then first had and would you really want to subject her to that?

Then there’s the issue of sports.  Many guys love to play sports don’t they?  Well smoking will make you worse at sports.  Not in the manner that you’ll lose your ability because of it or you won’t be able to do it, it’s just that it will cause you shortness of breath and less stamina.  Sure there are sports out there like croquet and pool that don’t take the stamina but sports like football, soccer, baseball, and basketball are centered around your ability to keep moving.  Do you want to be the guy who can’t keep up?

Then we come to the fact of money.  Smoking is a very expensive habit.  Since you already have very little money as is seeing as how your either still in highschool or in college you have to be sparing with the money you do have.  Don’t you want to have the money to take your girl out for dinner or the money to buy the toilet paper so you can toilet paper the house of your least favorite teacher?  Well if you decide to smoke you’re deciding to spend a lot of money on something useless and in the end not fun.  Sure you make think you’ll look cool at the time but in the end your just wasting money that could be better spent on truly fun things.
