Men’s Health: The Best Thing You Can Do is Stop Smoking
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009My male friend is on his 29th day as a non-smoker and he didn’t realize until he quit smoking just how much he hates everyone and everything. However, quitting smoking is one of the best things he can do for his health. Many times, articles about men’s health forget to address the benefits of quitting.
However, the newly-found health benefits (for men and women) can be little consolation to people who are going through the torture of quitting. My friend is all too aware of all the health problems that are attributed to smoking, and he can tell you every statistic and study out there, but for him right now, none of that health stuff matters.
What matters is the little, unimportant things right now. He’s goes crazy when the neighbors play the music he dislikes. He gets so angry when someone cuts him off in traffic. He has stopped talking to our friends that he deems “annoying” (which are most of them right now). However, I’m proud of him for sticking to it.
And for those women out there…don’t think quitting is just a benefit to men’s health…it’s good for you too!
