How you ever sat around and had a few morbid thoughts about how your life would end? Have you wondered what it would be that would make you kick the bucket? Well, if you smoke cigarettes you can probably bet safely that it will have something to do with that. Unless you meet with a terrible accident before then, you will likely go the same way as so many other smokers and die of some terrible smoking related disease or illness. It is not a pretty thought, but it can very easily be the way you end up going.
The next time you decide to contemplate your demise, it might be good to put a real dose of reality in it so you can have a clearer picture of how it might actually go. First of all, you will probably begin to notice the little things that come first. Shortness of breath, being more susceptible to things like cold, flu, and sinus infections. Even allergies, bronchitis, and asthma, could begin to show up when you have never had these things before. Then after maybe a few more years, you might make a trip to the doctor for some reason and have to have some blood drawn or x rays done, maybe it will be just a routine physical. When the results come back, it might not be some simple thing that can be fixed with a round of antibiotics or a change in your diet.
Sometimes tests like these will come back with terrible results like finding a spot on your lung or a tumor in your brain. You might have a stomach ailment that turns out to be pancreas cancer. That sore throat that keeps coming back might be throat or esophagus cancer. How will you react when you find out you have a terminal illness that they might not be able to cure? What if it has already progressed too far for treatment to do any good? All of a sudden it will never be necessary again to casually wonder what might take you out because you will know for sure.
Why do you want to wait until something like this has to happen to you before you decide you must stop smoking cigarettes? Many people do wait too long and then they are sorry, but it is too late. See your doctor now. Not so you can be diagnosed with a serious condition, but so you can get some help with quitting smoking. Starting with your doctor can be the fist serious step you take to actually quitting and being successful. Make now your time to quit because later just might be too late.
