It must be something really great. It must be fulfilling some sort of dream. Maybe it is making you better looking or making you rich. No? Then exactly what do you get from smoking cigarettes. It can not be any of those things that were mentioned because cigarettes are expensive, so they are costing you money, not helping you make any. They cause your body and skin to age, so you can not be looking better, but probably worse. The only way any of your dreams could be involved are the ones that will never be fulfilled because you will likely be too sick or too dead to make them come true. There is nothing great at all about smoking cigarettes. It would be a miracle if someone could think of just one thing good that comes from smoking.
So, if you can not think of even one good reason to continue smoking, then why do you do it? Everyone knows that cigarettes and the things that are in them are addictive. The chemicals and nicotine are what makes you crave them so much physically. Emotionally, it is just the habit of smoking that drives you to them. When you stop and think about it closely, smoking cigarettes probably interferes with so many things in your life everyday. You can not surf the Internet because your typing is constantly interrupted by having to lift and put down a cigarette. You can not turn the pages of a book easily with a cigarette between your fingers.
Those are insignificant things at best. What about more important things like when your kids need your time and you have to go smoke? What about the interruptions it might cause on your job? Have you ever gotten in trouble at work for being out smoking when you were not supposed to be? Have you missed a few invitations with non-smokers because you do smoke? Does your home and car smell bad and look dingy because of the cigarette smoke. The biggest problem of all involves your own health. Do you feel constantly congested? Is your breathing more shallow than it used to be? Do you tire very easily? Do you have frequent or constant sinus drainage?
All of these things are definitely what you are getting from smoking cigarettes and none of them are good. What will it take to make you realize how badly you need to stop? Will you be like a lot of smokers and have to end up in a hospital bed somewhere with a serious illness or disease that was caused by smoking before you do something about it? It is sad to say, but by the time this happens it just might be too late for quitting to do you very much good. So, if you are waiting for smoking cigarettes to do something for you, just keep smoking. They will.
