one of the most frequent questions that I get from my patients since I became a dentist is if they have to stop smoking. and my answer is always YES. there are many reasons why you should stop smoking than not. the followings are just a few of those.
- Improve my personal appearance by eliminating such things as stained teeth and fingers, bad breath, coughing, and smoking odor on clothes. Prevent wrinkles and keep my skin nice.
- Regain my sense of taste and smell, feel more energized and active, sleep better, and eliminate ‘hairy tongue’ and ’smokers cough’ or wheezing.
- Regain control of my behavior, gaining a sense of freedom, and owning myself again.
- Reduce health risks, such as the risk of heart disease, cancer, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. I do not want a heart attack or to have problems breathing.
- Reduce risk to unborn children and provide a healthy environment for children and others living with me.
- Save money.
- Increase productivity by regaining the time I now spend maintaining my smoking habit.
- Avoid possible injury or upset to others by such things as smoking in restaurants or dropping ashes on them.
