Yesterday I posted 3 More Reasons To Quit Smoking. Reason # 2 stated that today taxes on a pack of cigarettes increase by $1.00 (or approximately $30 per month to the pack a day smoker) here in Florida.

There are so many reasons to quit, so I thought I would add more to the list today.

4. Research studies show a higher risk of influenza infections among smokers when compared with nonsmokers. Further, the mortality rate of influenza among smokers is higher than that of nonsmokers. (Anyone concerned about the Swine Flu?)

5. Smoking increases the risk of impotence.

6. Stop it or you’ll go blind! OK, so Mom wasn’t talking about smoking, but there is a correlation between smoking and macular degeneration. Quitting smoking lessens the risk.
