Quit smoking
I saw a cartoon with 2 astronauts in their space suits outside their space station ...having a cigarette. I did enjoy that one. When someone is outside having a smoke break it is usually fun to suggest "A fresh air break, with a little flavor added." That seems to be a little more pleasant than most of the comments they get and they do tend to enjoy it.
I was smoking a large pack a day and thought it was time to quit. I quit 13 times over the next few months and the longest pause was for only 15 days, but the next time I quit has lasted for 37 years so far, and I'm certainly glad about that.
For awhile I was renting a house and renting out rooms in it to help pay for the rent. The smokers were always a worry. Typically a long cigarette burn in the carpet right next to where they kept their ash tray would be discovered when they moved out. According to one set of statistics I saw, it takes about a hundred house fires before a person is killed, but if that person does happen to be me, that's a hundred percent of my chances at a longer life gone.
Besides that, the people that smoked caused most of the other problems in the house, like loud music, late rent, etc. There were plenty of others but I'll skip the tedious details. It seemed that if their own health and life wasn't important, how could something as trivial as anyone else getting their sleep be important?
I was surprised to learn that smoking decreases blood flow and increases amputations. I guess there must be hundreds of thousands of body processes smoking probably has a negative impact on a high percentage of them. Anyway, I won't try to list them all. For anyone who is having difficulty quitting, here is a bit of help.

This method combines the power of hypnosis with a widely recognized new scientific advancement that has, virtually overnight, dramatically changed how people gain control over various aspects of their lives that they couldn't before. It's called neurolinguistic programming, or NLP.
Through this groundbreaking, ultra-powerful combination, it's like giving your smoking habit a one-two knockout punch, which will destroy your desire to smoke now and forever, without the debilitating stress that cold turkey can bring on, and without the reliance on nicotine substitutes or mind-altering drugs.
Easy Quit Hypnosis
I smoked, like a champion, for all but 10 of my 49 years of living. By the time I finally quit last year, I could hardly crawl up a flight of stairs without being barely able to catch my breath. Last year I had developed a smoker's cough so bad that during a hacking fit I actually tore a chest muscle. Just a few weeks prior to quitting I began waking up in the middle of the night, gasping for breath. I had to borrow a friend's asthma puffer. My teeth were a sickening yellow, my eyes disgustingly dull, my skin that ungodly grayish color that branded me "a smoker" and I always seemed to be the only one at social gatherings having to hide somewhere just to steal a few puffs. I had tried valiantly to quit twice before, but failed miserably.
Without a doubt, Quitting Smoking is the single most important thing that has happened to me in my entire adult life. It is also my smartest choice and the best decision I have ever made. Just one of the countless reasons I know this is that I'm going to be around to wrestle with my grandsons for many more years now. :-)
