Most of the selfless nonsmokers in this world try to convince the selfish smokers to quit the act of smoking. Some say they try to convince them out of affection, love and care whereas some say they do it because of the personal discomfort they feel because of the selfish act called smoking. But only their lord only knows why they do it. Ironically though, here I am - a passionate smoker, giving reasons why you should quit smoking based on personal experiences.
Firstly I feel that the evil owners of the cigarette companies and the wretched tobacco farmers for long have been making their living, have been making fortunes selling innocuous looking poison to the innocent and ignorant cigarette consumers who, unaware of the harms of smoking, have been slowly poisoning themselves and committing suicide. These evil humans manufacturing such a harmful substance sure go to hell (if it exists) in afterlife. But that is not enough for them. They should suffer, their families should suffer for their acts. It doesn't matter how gloomy and painful their afterlife will be for this whole concept of heaven and hell is hypothetical. They should suffer in their very own life time. So if you all quit smoking, they surely will go out of business. They, along with their families will be forced to starve or give up their dirty acts and look for a new job and this surely will serve them well in their lifetime.
Secondly, though it doesn't make much difference to most of us passionate smokers if smoking shortens our life, but just give it a thought. I am no scientist, nor I am your Lord's voice but I too feel smoking shortens our life. Lets say an average smoker's lifespan is shortened by 25 years because of smoking and lets also assume, that the life span of an average healthy non smoking human being is 85 years. So if you smoke regularly, you'll die at a tender age of 60. Think about it. You won't be able to live for 85 years. Doesn't it sound alarming? So if you quit you'll live till 85. It doesn't matter if at that time, your wife's not with you (she had other plans or maybe she died), all your friends are dead (they didn't read this crap and enjoyed their life), your kids don't want you (you are worthless piece of furniture), your grandchildren won't even help you in assisted suicide, you have some mental condition like Alzheimer's and you can't remember when was the last time you took a dump and most importantly although its close to the dawn of 22nd century but weed's still illegal. All these things don't matter at all after all you lived till 85 years.
Lastly, think about this whole matter in economic matters. I ain't no economics scholar. I don't know much about how economies work but think about this whole thing in this way. If 50% of you all quit smoking, wouldn't the cigarette companies feel threatened? Wouldn't they try to win back some customers or maybe just try to make their present customers more loyal? This will result in manufacturer's promotional discounts. Think about it. Now read the title of this article again. Why YOU should quit smoking. (Not me!). Now think about me. How much it would mean for me. Discounted cigarette packs in such tough times just like the Reds 100s pack with a dollar off some time ago. Think about me. How much I'd appreciate your selfless efforts for my smoking pleasures.
This way you'll not only give the evil cigarette manufacturing chain what it deserves, you'd also be able to tell a story of a long life to someone who'd care for you at that time. But most importantly you'll get priceless blessings of a fellow smoker which will grant you a wonderful afterlife!
