I am sure you are informed of the health problems you will be facing as a consequence of long term smoking. Smoking cigarettes for a long time leads to breathing problems such as COPD and cancer. Knowing this should be enough to make you quit smoking.
Why is it so difficult to stop smoking?
When habits are created, they are difficult to break particularly when we are addicted to something. When our organism ingests something that is addictive for long periods and suddenly stops getting the substance, the body responds by acting weird or feels miserable. That uncomfortable feeling returns to normal when it gets what it wants or when it has become habituated to not receiving it after a period of time.
Here is a weird but little illustration that will make sense.
We all wear underwear and if we get dressed without wearing one, our system becomes uncomfortable. That is because the organism has become used to having it there. By experiencing the unpleasant emotion, the body is telling us that something is missing and it wants it back. What do we do? We finally give up and put the underwear back on and then we feel improved. Addictions are like that but much, much worse.
Have you seen a person who has end stage COPD? If you have not seen one, you should meet one because it may help you give up. A person who has end stage COPD is short of breath all the time (worse some times than others), is on oxygen most of the time if not all the time, and coughs a lot phlegm. Their skin is frail and delicate with scattered bruises most obvious on the arms. The very reason why their skin is frail is attributed to the chronic use of steroids and every little bump will lead to bruising.
If you don’t know a person who has COPD you can find somebody at a nursing home or a Hospital. I know this may be difficult to do but if you really want to find out what the future holds for you, you have the chance to change it by seeing it yourself first hand.
I have met lots of folks with COPD and believe me, it is torture for them. What do you think I mean by it? Don’t take my word for it instead, this is what you should do to find out exactly what I mean by that. Go for a little run for just a few minutes; only if you can tolerate it. When you stop, you will be short of breath. Well, that’s what you will be experiencing at rest each single moment for the rest of your days when you get older and end up with COPD.
The time to quit smoking is at this instant. Not tomorrow. Right away! Please look for more information about COPD and learn about what you will be suffering from if you do not quit smoking now. Go see your Physician or someone that can help you quit. Do it for yourself and your family who loves you very much.
