I brought up a post earlier today about remembering what smoking was like at the end so that you would always remember that your current way of life is likely better than what it was when you were a smoker. This one illustrates what you life could have been if you hadn't stopped when you did. Just how much length of your lifetime and quality of your life were you going to sacrafice in order to sustain your addiction? If smoking is really looked at objectively, for where it was the day you quit and where it was heading if you had not quit, your likely choice will always be to never take another puff!
