I had lots of reasons but the 3 main ones are.
I could feel the damage it was doing to my health, I had a sore throat all the time, and sometimes I would find it difficult to breath normally (that was really scary it was a bit like a feeling of suffication:eek
Second reason was that I did'nt like the slavery, and the way I kept stopping and starting, I would always promise myself that the pack I was smoking would be my last, but the next morning would be purchasing another 'final' pack at the newsagent.
and last but not least was the damage I could have been doing to my dog, I was at the vets last year and there was a poster on the wall about secondary smoke and pets. It said that smoke particles in the air can get trapped in animals fur and they swallow this when they groom themselves thus increasing their risk of cancer:mad::eek:
