There are many negative things that people say about smokers. Although smokers stink, they are slaves, and they are nicotine addicts, smokers are amazing people and you might be shocked to discover these amazing truths. Well I’m not making fun of smokers because I was once also a smoker. Well, am just trying to impart some funny things that might at least in one way or the other give some motivation and help smokers quit the nicotine addiction permanently. You are here reading this article because you want to quit. So if you are a smoker who has decided to quit permanently, I challenge you to finish reading this article and don’t let your conscience stop you from reading the rest of this article.
Smokers are Good Budget Officers
Cigarettes are very expensive, well depending on how many cigarettes or pack a smoker puffs each day it varies. So the amount of money that is being spent so lavishly with this vice must seriously be taken into consideration. Now why do we say that smokers are great Budget Officers? It takes great analysis and talent in order to squeeze the amount of money smokers are spending for their cigarettes taken out from their hard earned salary. Of course they will prioritize first their nicotine master before they start budgeting their money for important necessities like food, clothing and entertainment. Sounds stupid but it’s true. The smoker might even say to his kids and family to start saving because of economic difficulties but he couldn’t say the truth that he is advocating his family to save just to buy those filthy cigarettes.
I would like to share the story of a smoker who told me how his vice was adversely controlling himself. One day his son was begging him for a few dollars to buy snacks. Now, at that time, the father has only a few dollar bills left in his pocket enough to buy 1 pack of cigarette for the day. And you know what he said to his son, “those snacks are not healthy, go inside the house and cook something better.”He didn’t give his son the money because he needs it to get his dose of nicotine. How sad, but told me how he really regret doing what he did.
Smokers are Very Obedient
During the peak of my smoking career, I was going out in the middle of the night just to buy em foolish cigarettes each time I ran out. No matter how far or how late it was in the night I will go out just to please my nicotine master and I’m pretty sure I’m not just the one experiencing this kind of obedience. Even in situations where the smoker is not allowed to smoke, he will be creative enough to find a way just to light a cigarette. And it will take something like “you will be thrown in jail if you are caught smoking” sign in order to control the smoker. I guess I never knew anyone who was caught smoking inside an airplane because it’s a criminal offense to do so.
Smokers Waste Nothing
One of my former smoking buddies visited me one day and he noticed the coins I was able to stack placed on a large container in the living room. The moment he looked at me after looking at the big container, we both smiled. I said when I was still smoking I never saved any coins not even a penny. I always use the coins first to buy cigarettes before pulling off any dollar bills. I even went through looking for coins hunting them under the bed, sofa, inside my drawers and in the pockets of my used clothes whenever I run out of money in my wallet. Interesting but it’s true, smokers will not waste anything, you will be fortunate if you were filthy rich, but if you are like most ordinary smokers out there those meager cents really are very precious.
Smokers Don’t Fear Death
Smokers aren’t afraid of death, even with the worst cough attacking them, they care less and would still puff those filthy cigarettes. Honestly, I just don’t know why, that the most important benefit of all, which is health gives the smoker the least motivation to quit. So those magazines, newsletter, books or other related literature scaring the smoker away to quit smoking is useless. Even if you show him pictures of people dying of cancer brought by smoking, to no avail, he would still buy those filthy cigarettes. Unless of course the doctor will make the smoker choose either to quit and keep on living or keep on smoking and die within the next few weeks or months. Well, as the saying goes, you will only value life the moment you are already dying.
Smokers are Heroes
Heroes? Did you just hear that smokers are heroes? Yes you did! Smokers are willing to die for their country. You see, they buy cigarettes, they punish themselves, they become addicts, they are prepared for the inevitable diseases they will acquire and they would do everything even to sacrifice their life just to buy cigarettes in order for the government to earn taxes. And when the smoker gets cancer or dies because of the various sicknesses he got, he doesn’t even want to claim any recognition for the self sacrifice he made. Isn’t that lovely? Well it’s a good thing if the government in that country he is staying is not corrupt but if it is, well all his sacrifices have been made futile. So I suggest keeping on raising the taxes of cigarettes, to heed the call of our heroes.
Amazing but it’s true, smokers are like that. So which one would you rather be, a living coward or a dying hero (LOL). My friend, thank you for finishing this article, you are almost a quitter. Believe in yourself we both know you can do it, quit smoking for good today!
Stay motivated, know what happens when you quit smoking.
As long as it is possible to get cigarette in the real world it is impossible to stop smoking. The only way is to tell yourself that it is not available in the world

Quitting is not easy and you have to really want to quit smoking. Do it for yourself not for others. Figure out the pros and cons and try different methods because everyone is different. and do not dismiss one way without trying it first.
