If you\u2019ve ever tried to quit smoking, you know your chief adversary is time. Every smoker can go a certain amount of time without a cigarette, even if it\u2019s just fifteen minutes. It\u2019s stacking those smoke-free moments, one after another, that can feel tough.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

When you quit, it\u2019s time to completely change the way you think about smoke-free moments. Don\u2019t think of them as moments without a cigarette, but rather as time you\u2019re giving to make your life more awesome.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Just look at everything you have to look forward to as an ex-smoker:<\/p>\n<\/div>

Better Skin<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

\u55ab\u7159 accelerates the aging of your skin,<\/a> slows wound healing, and can worsen some skin conditions, such as psoriasis. When you quit smoking, your skin\u2019s collagen production returns to normal levels, helping to fill in wrinkles, and your circulation improves, getting more oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells for a smoother, more even complexion.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

More Money<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

You may not have noticed how much you\u2019re spending on cigarettes.<\/a> Would it surprise you to know that the average smoker spends $188 per month, $2,292 per year, and $22,920 over ten years on cigarettes? This is the cost of the cigarettes alone, and doesn\u2019t include any money you may lose due to health problems or missed work.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Without that extra expense, you can take better care of yourself. Join your local wellness center. <\/a>Eat a healthy and delicious meal at a nice restaurant. Take a vacation now and then. Invest in your future.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

More Enjoyable Food<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

After you quit smoking, your senses of taste and smell improve, allowing you to enjoy flavors and aromas that you may have forgotten. Smoking can flatten your taste buds<\/a> and constrict blood vessels in your nasal passages. After you quit, these effects are quickly reversed. You\u2019ll have a better appetite, too. Just make sure to find lots of healthy and delicious options to exercise your newly returned tasting abilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

More Energy<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

\u305f\u3060 a few weeks after quitting smoking,<\/a> you\u2019ll experience better circulation and less coughing, and after just a few months, your lung function will have greatly improved. All of this will mean much less shortness of breath, as well as improved energy. You\u2019ll feel more able to tackle anything that comes your way, including fun!<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

A Healthier Family<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

When you quit smoking, your family benefits, too. For anyone who may have been exposed to your secondhand smoke, you\u2019ll decrease their risks of lung cancer and heart disease.<\/a> And if you have kids, quitting smoking helps reduce the risk that they\u2019ll start.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Better Intimacy<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

Because of smoking\u2019s effects on circulation, energy levels, and overall health, it\u2019s not surprising that quitting smoking can greatly improve your love life.<\/a> And because you\u2019ll probably look healthier and smell less smoky, it\u2019ll be all the easier to get close to the person you love.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Better Long-Term Health<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

Beyond these immediate benefits, you know there are many long-term health benefits <\/a>when you quit smoking. Quitting greatly reduces your risks of cancer, and heart and lung disease. Those who quit smoking before the ages of 45\u201354 reduce their chances of dying prematurely by two-thirds. And everyone who quits, at whatever age, can expect an increase in life expectancy of several years.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>

Quitting can be challenging, but you don\u2019t have to do it alone. Check out our four-session Commit to Quit course<\/a> to get all the help you need, and make awesome things happen in your life.<\/p>\n<\/div>
