Its not just the health issues though!

Why not quit because you want to live longer? Or why not quit because you are sick of smelling like ash. Why not quit because you would literally be better off burning the money instead of spending it on cigarettes to kill yourself with.

Anyone quitting should join a free online support group with official support, milestones, timelines, awards, and a community of people quitting and helping each other without judgement. https://quitza.com is a excellent free example. Although others exist they usually require you to pay.
