Don't Want To Spoil Your Valentine's Day? Quit Smoking
Author: Hayden Eck
A research conducted by the NHS Smoking Helpline found that smokers don't make good lovers. 1000 people, aged 18 to 35, were interviewed in this research. 22% of them believed that non-smokers make better lovers. While 34% said that the risk of impotence in smokers makes them less attractive. 39% people constantly had arguments with their smoking partners for quitting smoking. 11% actually ended the relationship because their partner wouldn't quit smoking. Over 78% people expressed their dislike for their partners smoking in bed. And, most smokers voiced their concern that their smoking habit put them in danger of impotence. This statistics, when Valentine's Day is just round the corner, can make smokers change their perspective and consider quitting smoking.
Effects of smoking on your heart
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 33% of deaths in the United States occur due to cardiovascular diseases. Smoking is a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases. Smoking also increases the risk of death from coronary heart diseases by up to 30%. Smoking increases blood pressure, decreases exercise tolerance and increases the tendency for blood to clot, all surmounting to heart attacks and strokes. Quitline Iowa, the statewide toll-free smoking cessation hotline, was quoted remarking, "When you give someone your heart this Valentine's Day, make it a healthier heart by quitting smoking".
Other effects of smoking
Impotence and heart diseases are not the only reasons because of which smokers don't make good lovers. Partners of smokers often get annoyed about the money being wasted on smoking cigarettes, which could have been spent on romantic getaways and other better things. Also the partners of smokers are turned off because of yellow teeth, smelly hair and bad breath, all signs of smoking. All in all, your smoking is completely capable to spoil your Valentine's Day if you don't do something about it. Make an effort to quit smoking this Valentine's Day and give the gift of healthier heart to your lover. There are several resources that can help you to quit smoking without experiencing any nasty effects.
Quit smoking help
From NHS Smoking Helpline to counseling through to Chantix varenicline, the FDA approved quit smoking pill, there are several sources that can help you to kick your habit for good. Chantix varenicline works in the brain by attaching itself to the nicotinic receptors where it acts as nicotine and provides the same pleasurable feeling. This reduces the cravings for nicotine as your brain doesn't demand nicotine. Also it reduces the severity of withdrawal symptoms by fooling the brain that it is getting its daily dose of nicotine. Chantix varenicline is a good alternative to nicotine replacement therapies such as nicotine gums, patches and lozenges as it doesn't contain nicotine.

whats the best methods to quit smoking, other than a pill, nicotine, or a hotline?
I quit smoking cold turkey. You have to want to quit or nothing will work. My mother died from lung cancer 3 years ago. I’ve been smoke free for a year and a half. Desire and comittment. There is a website called quitnet that keeps track of cigs not smoked and money saved. Good Luck!!!
I am quitting smoking is there any help of free out there?
I heard of some hotline that you can inquire free patches and stuff, does any one know what this is?
I had a stroke last year, left me semi-paralyzed. It was easy quitting after 40 years of tobacco addiction.
Might be a good idea to quit BEFORE the stroke, though!

My friend wanted to stop smoking.What should he do besides calling the quit smoking hotline?
My friend started smoking when he was 14 last year.This year he managed to stop smoking for over a month or so.He started to pick up the habit of smoking again earlier this month.What should he do to make him stop smoking? Help please? Thanks !
Perhaps a search for “quit smoking” + “natural ways” might be of interest.
