The carcinogenic properties of tobacco will kill you faster than carrying around a few extra pounds. Did you know that cigarette smoke contains arsenic, acetone, carbon monoxide and many other deadly chemicals? How much fun will it be to when you weigh 140 lbs but have to lug around an oxygen tank while you slowly suffocate from emphysema?

The bad news is that smokers quit an average of three times before they quit for good. It's an addiction and there will never be a "good time" to quit.

The good news? 20 million smokers will quit for good this year and you can be one of them!

Sorry to break it to you but the only reason that people gain weight is that they replace cigarettes with food. If you watch what you eat and exercise, there is no reason to gain weight when you quit. So that is not a valid excuse for not quitting. Face it, there are no excuses or rationalizations that hold up to scrutiny!

Former smoker of 20 years, tried to quit unsuccessfully 3 times, last time took - have been tobacco free for 5 years!
