Because cigarette smoking results in a decrease in blood flow, another side effect of smoking is impotence in men.  With the blood unable to properly flow to the penis, it is difficult to get it erect and to maintain an erection. Wouldn't you agree, men, that those are among the best reasons to quit smoking?

Smoking is not only continuously bad for your health, but also lowers your life expectancy.  Every time you smoke a cigarette, it changes the way that your body functions.  This includes the cardiovascular system, lungs, and other important parts of your body that help you to remain healthy.  The outcome of smoking can become fatal because of the chemicals you are putting in your system.  By deciding to quit smoking, you will raise your life expectancy from the diseases that the toxins from cigarettes cause.

All in all, people who smoke cut years from their lifespan because of the resulting diseases.  In fact, the US Centers for Disease Control has stated male smokers lose an average of 13.2 years and female smokers lose an average of 14.5. 

Your life expectancy will slowly begin to expand when you quit smoking.  This is in relation to how long you have smoked, how much you have smoked, when you began smoking and whether you were sick when you decided to quit smoking.  The sooner that you decide to quit smoking, the more likely you will be able to prolong your life expectancy.  Eventually, the chemicals that have moved through your body will be removed from your system.  This will allow the normal body functions to be able to move properly.  It will also allow the chemicals that once prevented growth of tissue and nerves to begin to grow back.  Your immune system, in return, will be able to produce more efficiently, allowing you to fight off diseases.    

When you decide to quit smoking, the lungs will begin to move air through them easier, and eventually replace the air sacs back to the normal size.  It will also cause the blood vessels to stop narrowing, and sometimes expand back to normal.  It is known that even twenty-four hours after you decide to quit smoking, your cardiovascular system begins to move at a normal pace, instead of the faster pace it had to move because of the extra chemicals in your system. 

By removing the chemicals from your body by deciding to quit smoking, you are allowing yourself to prolong your life as well as be healthier in your activities.  Smoking has proven to be fatal for several different reasons.  The only way to change your life expectancy is to allow yourself to quit smoking.
