Hello and welcome to the happy life of being a nonsmoker topic. I want to give you a little taste of what life will be like as a happy nonsmoker. Now, I hope that by now you pick the day that you're going to have your final cigarette. If you haven't yet, that's okay. Because I'm going to talk to you about how stopping will actually affects your life a lot more than you realize. So first of all, I'm going to talk about the health benefits for a moment.

Now, I know I said previously, I'm not going to tell you what you already know. And I honestly I will try not to do that. But by this point, I'm sure you realize you cannot ignore the health benefits to being a nonsmoker. I'll tell you what I noticed personally for me when I stopped, I've been asthmatic my whole life. And of course, smoking didn't help that. But I will admit the worst were times when I would have a cigarette within say an hour of having my inhaler because my lungs were closing up and giving me an attack seems baffling to even admit that my mind Trigger was telling me to smoke after I was struggling to breathe just a short while ago.

So of course, this has helped me with my breathing. That was the obvious results of stopping for me. But there was another health benefit that I didn't even know was happening. As a result of smoking. I'd always thought I had cold feet. Sounds strange.

So my legs and my feet would get cold very quickly leading, leading to me being unable to walk around barefoot or in flip flops, unless I was in about 35 degrees C of heat. And I didn't realize my smoking was affecting my circulation so much. So within about four weeks of me quitting, I noticed that my legs and my feet were actually much warmer. My toes didn't have that blue tinge on them anymore. After being barefoot for about 10 minutes. It took me a moment to understand how this changes actually come about because the only thing that I'd actually done differently was reverb.

Back to my former non smoking self. I forgotten that I didn't even have this problem prior to starting smoking. Also, I can confirm that if you are someone who likes to exercise, when you stop smoking, it really does make it a lot easier and far more enjoyable. Trust me on that one. Now your senses will come back to life as well. I never realized how my taste buds and sense of smell have been greatly reduced.

Food taste better and I could smell things I didn't even realize were there before. Now I can smell it cigarette a mile off as well. I never realized how intense the smell was. You hear the phrase the worst kind of smoker is an ex smoker. Yep, there is a good reason for that because we have our sense of smell back. Permanent non smokers are people who've never smoked at all in their life won't really notice that change.

And I can tell you I would much rather be an ex smoker and still be smoking because I Definitely now a happy nonsmoker. I don't find that kind of phrase offensive at all. Another great thing that you'll experience as a nonsmoker is the financial freedom. According to the Office of National Statistics in the UK, the average price for a pack of 20 cigarettes in the United Kingdom in 2018 is 10 pound 25 pence per pack. So if you smoke one pack per day, that's 71 pounds and 75 pence per week and 3731 pounds per year. The average smoker spends more than hundred thousand pounds over their lifetime on cigarettes is quite a lot when you look at the big picture.

Now I don't know about you, but I love to travel. And 3731 pounds a year to spare would take me on a great holiday and give me the chance to take some items off the bucket list that I have for my life. Although as a special mocha, you don't really see the financial burden of this addiction we have created for ourselves. Because it's really something worth noting. The most important thing that I can tell you about being a nonsmoker is how much more energy I have since I stopped, and I really do enjoy my life so much more. Now.

I don't have any underlying desire or panic control in everything I do in my life. It's no longer centered on when I'll be able to have the next one. And I don't have those thoughts and because of that, so very freeing, I have a much more confident person because of it. And above all else you need to remember, you do not need a cigarette to enjoy your life. So to summarize, I hope this topic has got you ready to take that final step and pick the date of your final cigarette and that you're now ready to step into your new happy life as a nonsmoker. You've come to So far already, and you're almost over the finish line.

So on that note, I'll see you in the next topic. Bye for now.
