Simply, 1 pack a day at $5 comes out to $73,000 over the next 40 years. Which is enough to pay for a VERY NICE car.
I only say 40 years and not 50 or 60 because you won't live that long.
If you continue smoking, you will develop emphysema and be unable to breathe. This is the constant feeling of not being able to breathe. You will be suffocating 24 hours a day for the rest of your life. At that point, there is no cure for you. Your own stupidity will bring on the worst torture you've ever imagined. You have no one to blame but yourself.
Do you know how most people deal with emphysema? Suicide.
No Joke.
If you do not quit:
1) you are giving up the money to buy 2 really nice fast cars or a house here in Missouri
2) you will also spend more money on the asthma medications that you'll need along with all the other cancer chemotherapy and other treatments.
3) By the time you die, you will likely spend nearly $1 MILLION on this stupid habit of yours.
4) If you do not have the insurance to pay for this, you will become a burden to society.
5) You will continue to raise the cost of health insurance and health care for the rest of us moreso than illegal immigration ever did.
6) If you have kids, they are more likely to get asthma. Further, your smoking will be a main cause of their asthma attacks.
If you smoke, you are an idiot. I do mean this. You may be a wonderfully nice person but you are still an idiot.
If you have kids AND you smoke you are a cruel idiot. Given the choice of having a smoke and of having your children's health, you decided that your cigarette was more important than the HEALTH and LIFE of your child.
Your children are justified in hating you for the miserably reckless and bad parent that you are. You do not deserve life. Luckily, you will most likely kill yourself before the cancer and emphysema kill you.
Quit now. Your next cigarette is the stupidest thing you've ever done in your life. The only thing dumber is that you're likely to have another after that.
