Get into Gear Try to Kick Those Butts Today

Today November 20^th is the 33^rd Great American SmokeOut. The first smoke out began back in 1977 when The American Cancer Society launched the very first smoke out day that appeared on the third Thursday in November. Every year smokers across the country try to do one of the hardest things which is to give up their cigarettes for Great American SmokeOut even if it's only for one day. Smoking Cigarettes not only makes you sick in the end, but will shorten your lifespan. Think about it each cigarette you light up and smoke takes around 6 minutes off your life which is the approximate time it takes for you to finish your cigarette. What does that exactly mean? It simply means every minute you spend smoking your brains out will actually shorten your lifespan by that time.

Did you ever sit down and really think about what smoking can do to your body not only now but in long-term as well? Smoking causes really bad breath, severe wrinkles, makes your skin dry, stains your teeth, smelly clothes, slows up your sexual performance, Yellow fingernails, increase heart rate and more. That's what cigarettes are actually doing to you right now, which some people call short term. Now for long term smoking cigarettes can cause Heart Disease, Emphysema, Lung Cancer, Throat Cancer, Mouth Cancer, Bladder Cancer, Stomach Ulcers, Cataracts, Psoriasis, and even Fertility problems for men and women. Wow that sure is a lot of Cancer words going on pretty scary stuff even writing this is enough for me to try and quit smoking today on Great American Smokeout Day.
