9 Reasons Why Giving Up Smoking is the Best Thing to Do

6. It affects your sleep pattern

Smoking adversely affects your sleep pattern. Even after having a good night’s sleep, you could feel sleepy and lethargic in the morning. Your body is unable to discern between adequate and inadequate sleep and could make you feel sleepy throughout the day.

7. It decreases your longevity

If you have never been a smoker, you are likely to live for ten years longer than those who smoke. Smoking takes away years from your life by damaging your organs from inside and making them more and more susceptible to diseases. The quality of a non-smoker’s life is also far better than that of a smoker.

8. It affects your sex life adversely

Apart from a loss of libido, if you are a heavy smoker, you will eventually experience problems like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and so on. And of course, the chances of having low sex drive is more if you are a smoker than if you are not.

9. It causes cancer

Smoking causes cancer. Most lung cancers and cancers of the esophagus and so on are caused due to smoking. Tobacco is responsible for cancer in the mouth and several other types of cancers affecting stomach, kidneys and pancreas.
