Im going to try and quit smoking after i graduate this year. Especially if I find a job, i think it'll be easier for me to quit, as strange as that might sound. Some people might argue that working gives you greater stress, but I find that I tend to smoke less on days I have work.

1. this is because I don't want to smell like smoke at work so I don't smoke till I get home.
2. a large part of my smoking is a result of stress from not being able to find a job. I think if i have my own income, I will feel a lot less pressure from myself and my parents, and will feel a lesser need to smoke.
3. i often smoke because i have too much free time on my hands. having a job will take up most of my free time so that ill be too busy to have idle time to have a cigarette.

Even though the amount that I smoke is considered very little in comparison to most smokers, im still probably gonna get cancer if I keep this up. So yea, really going to try and cut down on those deathsticks once uni finishes up this year. Without having to worry about my grades, i think I will have alot more energy to concentrate on giving up smoking.

For the benefit of my health in the long term, i think this is definitely my top priority once my studies are finished.
