Smoking
Smoking is perhaps the worst habit of all. It takes a toll on your life and can even drive you in debts. It causes serious health hazard like heart malfunctioning, throat cancer and can make almost all the body organs dysfunctional.

Either call a friend or talk about something interesting or read a book etc. You can chew a nicotine gum when you feel the strong urge to smoke. Slowly this gum will make you used to a life void of cigarettes.
You spend the whole night awake
Now this habit is in the bad habits list of students. They spend the whole night studying a week before the exams. Now this is really not necessary if you pay a little more attention and complete your courses well in advance. Staying up awake the whole night destroys your natural immune and can cause serious mental illnesses.
Measures to quit
Go to bed in proper time and wake up early in the morning if you really want to study. Get an adequate sleep of at least 6 to 7 hours a night.
Not able to live without headphones
Nowadays youngsters are always wearing headphones wherever they go; be it on a crowded bus or while going somewhere for lunch, a headphone is always there in their ears. If you love music so much, fine, but there is a limit to everything. Plugging in the headphones the whole day at the top of the volume cannot increase your passion for music.
Measures to quit:
Do not take headphones with you when you are going out. Enjoy the nature or look outside the window, know the world around when you are on a bus or train. You don’t actually need to turn a deaf ear of what is happening around and listen to music. You can do that when you are at home.
Go to sleep with makeup on
Some girls have this habit of going to bed without cleaning the makeup. Now this habit can have a dreadful impact on your skin. The makeup clogs the pores in your skin and causes serious skin irritation. The natural glow of your skin is lost.
Measures to quit:
Clear your face first. If you feel lethargic, make a stern decision not to wear makeup at all.
Watching T.V for a very long time
Watching T.V just for entertainment purposes is ok. But when it becomes a habit to vent out your frustration then it is an addiction. Sit in front of the T.V when you have some specific soaps or programs to watch. Don’t just sit in front of the T.V just for surfing the channels and thinking of something else and munching on high-calorie foods. This will restrain the physical activities and land you in the doctor’s chamber.
Measures to Quit:
Look for something more interesting rather than spending the whole day in front of this idiot box. Either read books or do some cooking etc. Don’t eat while sitting in front of the television. It makes you more glued to the television, and you become unaware of what you are eating.
Good and bad habits go simultaneously in a person’s life. You should always aim to shun all the bad habits and embrace the good habits to lead a better life.
