reasons i wanted to quit

the original list of reasons why i wanted to quit smoking:

i'd rather not be an outcast anymore; i'm tired of people looking at me like i've got leprosy because i'm smoking a cigarette.

1. i've already given myself emphysema by smoking; i can't afford to let it get any worse than it already is.
2. i want to be able to breathe freely: having emphysema and bronchitis has been pretty scary; there have been times over the last couple of weeks that i couldn't take a breath without going into a choking, gagging, coughing fit.
3. i want to be free of this disgusting, dirty habit.
4. i want to get healthy: i'd like to start working out again, lose my spare tire, and be able to participate in strenuous physical activities without feeling like i'm going to have a heart attack.
5. i'd rather not be an outcast anymore; i'm tired of people looking at me like i've got leprosy because i'm smoking a cigarette.
6. i want to be more attractive to women.
7. i hate the stink of cigarettes. even as a smoker, it pisses me off when someone's smoking somewhere they shouldn't be, and it interferes with my enjoyment of a situation (like when someone at an adjacent table in a restaurant lights up - i hate that).
8. i'd like to look better, smell better, and feel better about myself.
9. i want my circulation to improve so my hands and feet aren't cold constantly any more.
10. if Bob could do it, so can i!
