Hi Cathy,
Here are a few more:

No more cigarette burns in clothes, carpet, etc.

Will not need to carry oxygen with me.

No more cigarette cough.

Voice does not sound like a foghorn.

No more SOB on mild exertion.

There are many more and I am sure others will add to the list.

Hi Cathy,
I just had a new grandson that I want to see grow up.
Smoking is to dam inconvient when one must stand out in the cold to do it.
Just a couple of mine that aren't listed already.
Welcome!

Jelli,

I will give you another really good reason to never go back to smoking and it comes with a small story.

I have a friend who is big and strong and she protected me in high school because the kids all picked on me one of the reason's I started smoking to be accepted and ok we lost touch after school she went her way and I went mine I have seen her from time to time in differnet places around our area. She has remained here for a long time. WEll today my fiancee and I went to a tool sale in the next town. As I was getting ready to leave with my fiancee I saw my friend and naturally I went over to say hi. That is when I noticed she was walking slower and was no where near as big as she use to be and by big I mean muscular. Anyway I didn't say anything about this but did say hi and then it took her a few minutes but she said hi back and explained things were difficult for her right now because she was on Kemotherapy because she had cancer. She use to smoke like a chimmeny I guess we all did in those days. But she said she had quit January of this year when she found out she had "Cancer" I told her I had quit almost 2 months ago now.

I could not beleieve how fast and far she had gone downhill and how little she could function. She says she is getting better and I did not ask what kind of cancer as this was a shock to me. She was a friend I would of given up my life for and she me. That was many years ago but I still admire and respect her so very much. But I am sure as you know smoking causes cancer and has 43 different cancer causing agents in it. I am sure my friend has cancer from smoking and this is a reason to remain and get quit.

One month, three weeks, two days, 11 hours, 1 minute and 45 seconds. 2138 cigarettes not smoked, saving $368.87. Life saved: 1 week, 10 hours, 10 minutes.

I want to save some money (cigs are $US8-10 a pack here in Australia).
I don't want to feel withdrawals everytime I'm in some situation when I can't smoke.
I don't want an addiction that only lines the pockets of people who don't care if I live or die.
I'm scared of leaving my wife and children without a father.
I'm scared of dying a painful death.
When my wife complains that I eat too much ice-cream or chocolate I want to be able to say 'well, atleast I don't smoke'
