Quitting smoking has two big benefits, and I've been doing it for over 3 months. And both can be said to be long-term investments, apart from long-term health, the money used to buy cigarettes can also be used to invest and I invested in Bitcoin.
In one month I can spend approximately $90 to buy cigarettes, and the price of the cigarettes I buy is around $2/pack for one pack a day and sometimes more than one pack.
And by quitting smoking, I was able to increase my regular monthly Bitcoin purchases from a portion of my monthly salary as well as $90 per month in cigarette money.
And I definitely felt a difference in my health and also saw a difference in my Bitcoin holdings after increasing my purchases, and I wish I could do it forever. Honestly, even though I don't do it, sometimes I am still tempted to want to smoke again when hanging out with friends and also at certain moments.
And the strong reason I stopped smoking was because my wife likes to nag me if I smoke at home because I have small children, and over time I decided to stop smoking. And previously I tried it several times but failed, and now I haven't smoked for more than 3 months and I hope I can do it forever because it has two extraordinary benefits. Health and can increase my investment.
You were wise to channel that flow of money into something into more productive, because spending that amount of money is just a too much, with that you can even safe more, if you were saving 40% of your monthly income you can end up saving 50% or 60% of your income. Not only did you improve you savings, you also improved your health. You will get to see some changes in your body especially when you start drinking enough water. I know it’s easy to get relapse when you’re trying to stay clean from something you do on a regular but when you set your mind to something you can achieve them, if you tell yourself to stop anything smoking, you can do it. That’s Is you having control of yourself which is actually a good trait.
The part where you smoke in front of your kids is something not acceptable, parents are the closest a kid can exhibit a habit from so easily, for instance if I child grows up from a violence home where he gets abuse on a daily, they are possibly every tendency that the kid will grow up to be violent or even be chaos to the society. So parent should set good example for their kids they are things we shouldn’t allow our kids see us do example smoking. To me that’s just not responsible.
