Another Reason to Quit Smoking: Taste
If you're looking for motivation to quit smoking, I have another reason to tack onto your list: taste. A recent study performed in Greece found that smoking literally dulls the taste buds. In the small study, the smokers had flatter tastes buds compared with their nonsmoking counterparts.
Another Reason to Quit Smoking: Popularity
There are so many health-related reasons to quit smoking, and now there is a new reason to add to that on-going list. This reason, however, has nothing to do with your heart or lungs; it has to do with your social standing.
A new study found that smoking might just be detrimental to popularity and social standing.
Another Reason to Quit Smoking: Sleep
If you're still smoking and looking for more reasons to quit . . .
Another Reason to Quit Smoking: Hearing Problems
Maybe you or someone close to you is thinking of quitting smoking. All I can say is: Go for it! Quitting smoking is a win-win situation; it puts more money in your pocket and more air in your lungs.
Another Reason to Quit Smoking: Increased Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
The reasons to quit smoking keep piling up and here is the latest: smoking may increase your risk for type 2 diabetes.
In a review of 25 different diabetes and smoking studies that combined involved over one million people, the data revealed that smokers are 44 percent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. The different studies involved in the review lasted as short as five years and as long as 30 years.
Another Reason To Stop Smoking: Acne
Aside from the countless health reasons to quit smoking, there are vanity reasons as well. Smoking doesn't just cause wrinkles, it has been connected with a type of acne. A recent Italian study found a connection between smoking and non-inflammatory acne (NIA), characterized by many types of blemishes we try to avoid: blocked pores, large white heads and small cysts.
Another Reason Not to Smoke: Dementia
There are so many reasons to quit smoking and now here's a new one to add to the mountain of evidence urging you to kick the habit in the butt (sorry, but I had to give in to that pun).
A recent study concluded that smokers are putting themselves at risk for dementia. Participants who were smokers during the study were 50 percent more likely to develop dementia than people who had never smoked or were former smokers (that means giving up tobacco right now can significantly reduce your chances of developing dementia).
Another Reason to Quit Smoking: Depression
There are so many horrible things that can come from smoking cigarettes that it is really insane that cigarettes are still around.
Yet another study, this one from The University of Helsinki, has found another negative side effect of smoking cigarettes. Finnish researchers found that smokers may have a higher risk of depression than those who have never smoked.
Another Reason to Stop Smoking and Something to Help the CRAVINGS
You all know that I am anti-smoking - not much of a shocker. People are motivated to quit for a variety of reasons, with health and beauty topping the list. If you smoke and are looking for reasons to quit this new study on smoking might just be the motivation you are looking for.
