Give me reasons why I should quit.

I want some reasons from fellow people who do or do not smoke.  Thanks =)
(I do smoke occasionally, but I need to decide whether to keep it up or not...It's addicting, you know?)

I've never smoked and I'll try not be as brutal as Alex but... Cancer, bad breath, and it ruins your looks (You'll get wrinkles faster than most people that don't smoke).  :?

Thanks for not being as brutal Joe =)

I think maybe I'll try quitting cold turkey.  Considering that I only smoke maybe two or three times a month, I'm not very bad off right now.  It's kind of hard though when everyone around you smokes.  I mean, you walk out of a building and there's people smoking EVERYWHERE.  I hadn't smoked since I was 15 and I was always tempted to smoke again.  I finally gave in like a month and a half ago.

Just be strong.  Everyone that I hung around with smoked and I never even took a puff a cig (not that I wasnt tempted sometimes.).

Main reason to stop smoking: Your freakin' health.  We don't wanna lose ya!

My shallow reason: Because it makes you look terrible!  Personally, once a girl lights up, I can't think of kissing her.

I got some friends that smoke, I dont personally but I know all sides of it. I will tell you this. I dont smoke mainly cause its too fucking expensive. In Washington state its like over 7 bucks a pack. fuckthat.
But on top of that, it makes you smell like shit.
As for the health stuff. You wanna die young, I say go for it.

quit  now while you can! There is the harshest advert for quiting smoking here with this guy who can barely breathe saying 'just make your decision' it then says that he died 3 weeks after it was filmed, don't be like him!

Both of my parents smoked at one time and since have both quit.............so at first I was around smoke all the time, and now I'm not ever but on the few occasions that I am the smoke gives me a killer headache.........so if you don't stop smoking for yourself, think of the others, they'll surely appreciate it :)
Washington is a dreadfully awful place......this I've learned

I don't smoke around other people because I know how much the smell can bother others.  It used to drive me crazy.  Well, so far today I haven't lit up and I'm going to try to go through the day without one even though I want one.

I smoke cigars on occasion...and once in a blue moon I'll have a cigarette, but I will only smoke a Nat Sherman cigarette...It's a social thing, but I will probably never smoke again because it's banned in bars and clubs in New York, but No I don't smoke, and everyone should quit unless you are a social smoker and you smoke fashionable cigarettes.
