Fear of disease and losing my life before I should

My biggest reason is that I can't afford cigarettes and put off buying necessary things for my kids or house in order to have money for cigs. I also have asthma and my health is failing fast 😞

Money, the fact that if anyone around me gets a cold, I get acute bronchitis or pneumonia and can't breathe. My latest bout of acute bronchits, I woke up gasping and realized this really WAS my future. If I didn't quit, I was going to get to the point where every day was like this.

Freedom!!! I was getting SO tired of feeling agititated when I couldn't smoke, so tired of thinking "When can I smoke? when can I smoke? I hope I can smoke soon!" It was getting ridiculous. I quit 9/24. I still think of smoking almost constantly, but I'm happy knowing that someday soon, it'll pass and I'll be free free free!!!!

Plus, extra $$$ isn't a bad thought either 😉

The freedom is absolutely wonderful.  Very good reason.  And the health and the money and there's probably more.  The benefit list is no doubt longer than the false enjoyment

I remember how healthy I felt when I quit for a few months three years ago. I remember how free I felt, and I want that back. I also do not want to be on oxygen like my Mom is.

I originally quit to get surgery done on my foot (bunion), at pre-op they did a chest x-ray, that was questionable and leaded to a CT scan....that was enough for me....I decided never again....and the rewards just keep coming....Freedom from nicotine addiction is wonderful 🙂
