Smoking Cessation – Steps to Quitting – The Reasons

I want to quit smoking because of …

  • Health reasons – cough, chest pain, shortness of breathe; longevity, etc.
  • Family reasons – young children in the household; health concerns of family members, etc.
  • Psychological reasons – smoking brings more worries; you don’t want to be dependent on tobacco, etc.
  • Social reasons – your friends and coworkers do not smoke; cigarette smoke bothers and harms people around you, etc.
  • Financial reasons – the money you spend on cigarettes could be used for your children’s education.

Please write down three personal reasons for quitting: Put your reasons on a note card and carry it around as a constant reminder.
