7 Ridiculous Excuses Smokers Always Use When Asked to Quit!

First, there is the reason "poor employees or the cigarette factory will go bankrupt". 

As if they are heroes to the cigarette factory workers who will not be able to eat if smokers no longer donate money to buy cigarettes. Who knows, it is true that cigarette factories will also go bankrupt without stable sales, but that is not a reasonable reason to continue smoking.

Then, there is the reason "so that you can lose weight". 

Wow, it is true, smoking can make smokers lose their appetite. But is damaging the lungs and heart by smoking worth it just to lose weight? Of course not.

The third reason that is often used is "so that you can be recognized in society". 

Seriously? What does smoking have to do with being accepted in a social environment? Maybe some still believe the myth that smokers look cooler, but in fact many people are reluctant to hang out with smokers because they are worried about being exposed to dangerous cigarette smoke.

Next, there is the reason "a friend in lonely and crowded times".

Unfortunately, relying on cigarettes as a loyal friend when alone or with friends is just a bad habit that must be changed immediately. Stay away from cigarettes and find better companions to spend time with!.

One of the reasons that is quite funny is "to lighten the conversation".

Well, it seems that this smoker does not have a good talent for speaking so he has to rely on cigarette smoke coming out of his mouth to 'lighten' the conversation. Isn't it better to learn how to communicate properly than to spread cancer to people around you?

The sixth reason, "to look manly". 

There is an old stigma that smokers are a symbol of masculinity, but times have changed! Being a real man is not determined by a cigarette that is continuously smoked, but by a positive attitude and behavior.

And finally, there is the reason "death is not determined by cigarettes but by God". 

Wow, what a ridiculous defense. Although it is true that the fate of life and death is in the hands of God, isn't it wiser to maintain a healthy body as a form of gratitude for the gift of life that is given? Don't endanger yourself with unreasonable reasons.

So, for smokers who are always looking for absurd reasons to continue smoking, let's introspect and realize that a decision to quit smoking is the right and wise step. 

Your health is much more valuable than a glass of nicotine that is damaging to the body. Remember that "health is the best investment you can make for your future". It's time to quit smoking and give your body a chance to recover and function properly. 

Keep up the spirit!
