There are many benefits to stopping smoking. These benefits are the reason why you should stop smoking. They wont in themselves help you stop smoking but they will provide you with motivation to go on and learn how to stop smoking successfully.

Smoking causes damage to your mouth and gums. Smokers are more likely to suffer from 'acute necrotising and ulcerative gingivitis' (diseased gums) which increases the risk of tooth loss and gives you bad breath amongst other things.

Your risks of cancer to the lungs, throat and mouth will start to decrease and over the years will become comparable to that of a lifelong nonsmoker. Your risk of heart disease will also decrease. Hardened arteries, high blood pressure and cholesterol will become less of a risk factor. You will also have fewer risks of chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

You might never have given a thought to it, but smoking adversely affects your appearance. Smoking causes you to have bad breath, foul smelling hair and clothes, early wrinkling of the skin and yellowing of the fingernails and hair. When you stop smoking, there will be a decease in the chances of having a gum disease and stained teeth.

Education is the power through which you can get what you want in life and if you know what benefits and withdrawal symptoms you will have to face you will be in a better position to handle them perfectly and can quit the smoking habit.

For instance, the fact that it actually doesn't take all that long for you to completely get rid of nicotine from your body isn't well known. What this means to you is that you're not going to be suffering quite as badly or as long as you may have first thought.
