We all know that smoking causes cancer, as well as a number of other medical conditions. But there are a number of other symptoms you may have been experiencing that are directly related to lighting up, and so quite a few benefits to quitting smoking.

For instance, if you are a smoker your sense of smell and taste have probably been severely effected. Things may not taste as good as they used to, your sense of smell may be out of whack, and you likely have no idea what you smell like yourself. Within the first few days of quitting, your senses will begin to right themselves again.

Another benefit is that to your skin. Smoking is extremely detrimental to skin health. Not only can is worsen acne, cause dryness, and add an odd pallor to the skin, but it can increase wrinkles as well. Studies have found that men and women who smoke begin to see deep lines years before their peers, and much worst.

Finally, your energy will return, your breathing will deepen, and you will find your sex drive increasing. All of these things are reduced due to smoking, and can put a serious damper on your social and every day life.
