Smoking Leaves a Bad First Impression

March 26, 2013 By Social Media Collaborative

There are plenty of reasons a person starts smoking. Maybe you were the victim of peer pressure, or maybe you just wanted to light up and see what all the hype was about. For whatever reason you started to smoke; there are a million more reasons to stop.

There are countless side effects of smoking and you are probably aware of many, but here are a few more.

  • ·         Cigarette smells linger on clothing
  • ·         Yellow teeth
  • ·         Yellow nails
  • ·         Increased risk for most diseases
  • ·         Increased risk of cancer

 
Many people make judgments based on appearances the first time they meet someone. We’re all trying to make the best first impression, and I bet not many people are impressed by a handshake with yellow fingernails and a smile full of yellow teeth. These aren’t even the most important reasons to quit smoking.

The smartest move you can make for your personal health is to QUIT SMOKING TODAY!
