Topic: Quitting Smoking Has Two Big Benefits. - page 10. (Read 1381 times)

by smoking youre literally investing for disease LOL, its just how it is, smoking increase risk of various disease and its just overall not really a good behaviour meanwhile you can just use the money you used to buy smoke for other thing i mean investing in new altcoin is one way to flip the value of your small investment around which you get from saving up by avoiding smoking.
keep up the good work and you will be in the better state than you are right now. after all seriously you are just wasting your health for nothing with smoking its not even taste good but i could understand that some people might get addicted with smoking because it contains nicotine or whatever it is thats harmful to the body.
hopefully you will keep up and not falling back to smoking again.

Good for you OP. I’m sure you never bothered about how much you spent on cigarettes daily when you were into it. That’s how powerful vices are when they don’t get checked. I’m glad you decided to quit smoking not just for your improved money spendings but also for your health, it’s says on the pack of cigarettes that smokers are liable to die young, yet people buy more and more cigarettes everyday.

Stopping smoking reduces the amount of carbon monoxide in your blood.  Though that effect to fully play out takes a while the benefits start immediately and grow from there (your body replaces damaged blood cells over 6 months)    There was a big thread I was reading on another forum where the OP was slowly being poisoned by a CO leak, nothing made sense to him anymore and he could not recognize himself or his own actions.  His thinking was extremely impaired almost as if he was asleep and unable to complete his thoughts but believed he had done everything correctly and the error was a 3rd party, he was unable to help himself.   Finally another poster suggests his actions resemble psychosis and he seek medical help to investigate regardless and outside his own thought process, he later found out the CO had stopped his thinking being logical;  my speculation this is partly true of addiction you have to take the extreme step to at least try to form a distance away from your regular process even if it feels fine to stay on course.

Its about 15$ a pack for good brands anyhow where I live, you are really lucky its so cheap to kill yourself in entertaining ways where you live true freedom    It doesnt take too much to reverse a negative into a positive, you got nothing to lose by putting the prior contributions being made towards your early death into something that might grow even if relatively risky compared to many other uses for cash its surely a positive underlined by your perspective.

Imagine one day we manage to assimilate all these negatives and possible positives recognized over the last century of tobacco use and reduction into the inverse economic waste entrenching most nations and occurring everyday with giant governments in continual debt, currency losses etc.    It would be nice to wake up and breath fresh air once more a free man.

Congratulations to you for quitting smoking. it is actually a good advantage for you to have a family to know that you have a purpose for living, then why smoking ? Smoking has no advantage, but thanks to God, you already know for yourself, and as a father of young children, smoking in front of them will not only affect them as second-hand smokers but also trigger them to try it when you are not around, and from there, you have already taught your children smoking, which you will end up regranting. Also, thanks to your wife, because I know she has tried so hard to see you quit smoking, which shows she is a recommended good spouse.

And again, you have already quit smoking. Going back to that habit will be very terrible. You have to apply some strategies, like saying away from your friends that usually smoke and also avoiding staying alone, which might end up processing some negative thoughts and end up smoking again, so always go on a medical checkup and associate yourself more with people that don’t smoke and always stay around people. These are some strategies that I will recommend for you to help you cut off completely from smoking.

This post reminds me of someone back then who was saying if not for smoking he could have been able to build him self a little house which him and his family should be living on, it was a funny story back then but if you do the maths you will notice that he actually have exhausted an amount which was big enough to change his life if they where to be brought back to his account.

Aside from the investment benefit stopping smoking can also have some health benefits as you don’t need to worry about cleaning what ever the smoke will course in your system you can only focus on staying healthy and hydrated, it’s good you where able to stop it and have been able to increase your bitcoin holdings I hope this last and you don’t go back to it.

Quitting smoking is definitely really difficult and needs a really big motivation to do it. The urge to start smoking again is just up there and I always respect the effort to actually quit smoking. It drains your money and makes your health worse by continuously smoking and it could affect your families health as well. Even the price of cigarettes in here worth a full meal for a pack of cigarette, that's just really insane.

Smoking is fine and please continue, as long as you don't light the fire... hihi
Currently cigarette excise continues to increase every year and of course this can cause the price of cigarettes to continue to rise and of course enough to drain the contents of consumers' wallets. However, despite this, cigarettes have benefits in managing stress, so that when someone smokes they become a little relaxed. and feel calmer than before. And if it is related to bodily health, of course cigarettes have their own impacts that can affect the health of its users.

But to feel relaxed and be able to manage stress well, the solution is not to just smoke, because there are other ways that are safer and do not pose a risk to our health. To maintain optimal mental and physical health, it is recommended to avoid smoking and seek healthier lifestyle alternatives. If you find it difficult to stop smoking, consult a health professional or specialist who can help you overcome your dependence.

Smoking doesn't really do you any good, you just get a lot of diseases from it. I don't know why others are addicted to smoking, I'm just curios. It hurts so much in the throat when you inhale cigarette smoke, but most people still like it.

I hope your plan to quit smoking continues, you can do it, trust yourself that you can. You already know what happens when you stop smoking, so that's a good start. Only you yourself will help you to get out of there.

Good thing you haven't experienced withdrawal symptoms. I knew people who really wanted to quit smoking but instead switched into vaping because their body cannot really deal without inhaling some smoke. One family member even died after quitting cigarettes, so it's really not that easy if your body has somewhat adjusted to it and taught that it's a normal bodily process.

the economic advantages are really there, but unfortunately, for some people, quitting cigarettes is not an option, moving towards a milder, less expensive form of smoking (vaping) will do the trick.

First of congratulations that you are able to control your smoking habits. It's good for your health and obviously it can save up lot of money! In similar ways there are hundreds of bad habits that can be changed by us to save up more. Now it's up to us what to keep and what to let go in the long run. For example, one can also apply same strategy on good habits but which are unnecessary and has cheaper alternatives. I think all of them can make up to a good saving plan if studied properly.

As of now, I am lowering my expenses as much as I could and the only outgoing thing I have got is my EMI and donations if any. I would avoid going out for dinner or lunch and instead eat at home with my family. There are small stuffs which can be changed to earn more or save more.

Everyone who smokes should seriously seek to stop, I did it for a long time myself. It is a disgusting habit that will send your teeth yellow, give you awful ashtray breath, make your clothes and anything you touch stink along with destroy your health. You might start in your teens or in your twenties, but by the time you hit your 30's or 40's it is not impossible to stop, you just have to mentally prepare for it and be aware of all the things that trigger you, then have a plan for keeping your hands and mind busy - the urges to pick up a cigarette are strong at the beginning, but as you reformulate your life back to normality, it gets so much easier. 6 months or even a year in you'll have saved yourself a massive amount of waste and misery in so many different ways.

Quitting smoking comes with tremendous benefits, and these reasons can serve as powerful motivators for anyone looking to break free from the habit. First and foremost, your health stands to gain significantly when you quit smoking. Imagine your body becoming stronger, breathing becoming easier, and the risk of various illnesses decreasing. Good health is like a superpower that lets you enjoy all the wonderful things in life without any hindrance.

Furthermore, think about the financial aspect of quitting smoking. Picture someone in my neighborhood who, after successfully quitting for a whole year, decided to save the money previously spent on cigarettes daily. At the end of that year, when he opened the container holding his savings, he was moved to tears. The realization of the substantial amount of money he had saved hit him, and he couldn't help but acknowledge the missed opportunities. This emotional moment highlighted the potential for significant achievements if he had redirected those funds elsewhere.

In fact, if smokers redirect their money wisely, such as investing in something like Bitcoin, they could witness incredible benefits in the future. By channeling funds previously spent on cigarettes into investments, individuals can secure a financial future that holds the promise of success and accomplishment. So, quitting smoking not only enhances your health but can also pave the way for financial growth and prosperity, offering a brighter and more fulfilling future.

i can understand your dilemma, i guess, most smokers have the same struggles in life. the OP is fortunate to surpass such difficult time in his life. now that he is already out of this addictive habit for about 3 months, find ways or activities that can sustain this change in lifestyle. think of other activities that he believe will keep his mind busy and not resort to lighting up one more cigarette.
just like his motivation of investing it to btc rather than buying a pack of cigarette, will be a good way to alter his thinking of going back to this old habit. also, if he feels that he is in depressed mode, like his investments is going down, think of other ways how to make yourself busy and do some worthwhile activities such as finishing up your project at home, decluttering your things, travel, meditate and so on...

Quiting smoking is a very good financial,  health decision to take. If we should tell ourselves the truth smoking can't doing anything meaningful in one's life. It is either smoking will cause you to have lungs disorder, waste if money.  You may think buying cigarette is cheap but if you calculate the money use in buying cigarette for the year it is a sum of money that can be use to start good financial projects that is of good value that will yield good profit.

Fighting yourself is harder. But all of this is important for future health investments. Quitting smoking will also have an impact on finances so that the money to buy cigarettes can be allocated to saving and investing. I am aware of everything as OP said and until now I am trying to stop smoking. It's true that I can't stop completely but I have to do this as soon as possible. because apart from saving finances, this is also about investing in future health which is also more important.

Until now I have not been able to stop smoking, because smoking is a way to calm myself down to suppress stress, even if only temporarily, and other mental problems. Yes, maybe that needs to be resolved first, I know everyone has problems, but for those who are already active smokers (addicted) like me, it will be difficult to stop. So regardless of my own intentions, I really need more support and attention from other people, hopefully this year I can stop smoking completely.

This statement looks familiar. It has been a very popular phrase for us here to tell those heavy smokers that if they were to save the money spent in each cigarette, they could've built a house already or own a car or a business already. But, there's an irony to that, since there also people who does not smoke but the cycle of their lives remains the same. Still renting apartment and struggling to provide ends meet. Though that irony maybe true, but the saying is true as well. Smoker or non-smoker, most of the people struggle to give up unnecessary expenditures to keep that money as savings. Well, cigarette withdrawal itself ain't easy though lol. Some people got seriously sick after a sudden withdrawal. If one cannot afford to give up smoking, there are a lot of ways to have savings without actually giving up your cigarette addition. Everything is all up to the person whether how passionate he is to save and invest.

How i wish that other smokers would come to their senses, as you did, you use to spent $90 a month on cigarettes. This is the first time I have seen someone give up smoking and use the money to make a positive change in his life. Although it is our responsibility as humans to take care of ourselves, some people will continue to spend their money on items that will ruin their lives. It states that smokers are liable to die young. If all smokers could save the money they spend on cigarettes for a month, they may achieve a lot in life. 

Giving up something on which we have been addicted is difficult. It has been more than three months since you stopped smoking. I know it is quite difficult, but you have already decided that you should invest the money instead of continuing to smoke. I have seen some smokers who try to stop, and they always complain that it is very difficult for them to quit because they are addicted to it. It always seems like they are not ready to give up smoking because if we make up our minds and mean it, we started it ourselves and we can definitely stop it. I'm happy that you've given up smoking and started investing.

D fuck man? Are you chimney? I would have said it's normal if it was weed but consistent smoking of Tobacco has no benefit, you will cough and cough till you die and that's why you see it's written that smokers are reliable to die young.

I think your conclusion of quitted is low to say that you have good bye smoking, it's barely 3 months which is very short. I have seen people trying to quit smoking only after 6 months to come back and continue their normal life. You can do it though but to be honest with you, it's not as easy as you think but you can do it.


I wish this money can buy you more than the amount of Bitcoin it can really buy, the sats will be small but doing this DCA will keep you on guard and buying it as reserve will have it's use tomorrow but then again, it would have make sense if you started earlier when bitcoin was lower, you might not gain much by the time you bought for the next 12 months, that's going to be like $1200+ and you need bitcoin to double in price for you to double that money. It's still good money to cover some bills than endangering your health and smoking for nothing.

Smoking is very harmful to our body, we know it and it is written on the cigarette pack, yet we are addicted to it. I smoke cigarettes less but still smoke the equivalent of 0.7$ cigarettes per day which equates to $21 per month. It's a complete waste. I know this but can't quit smoking. If we don't smoke this cigarette and invest this money in Bitcoin or some other place or save this money then it will benefit us a lot. But I don't know how many people will be able to do it because smoking has become our habit now

I would say you are lucky if you could stop smoking not to mention the other benefits because health is the most crucial thing for something alive, be it humans, animals, plants, or anything else. The second benefit that you are talking about can be done by a lot of people even if they are not smokers because many people spend money on things that aren't necessary and they can easily skip them if they want to, it's all about patience and self-control.
Many people spend a lot of money on food and stuff that they eat unnecessarily from outside which they can eat at home without having to spend that much money. Others might spend money on things such as coffee, alcohol, bars, and a bunch of other stuff that they do which they can skip, even if they don't leave them forever, they can at least reduce the days
