Why Quit Smoking?
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death. Cigarette smoke affects every organ in the body and has harmful effects on those around you.
It’s not easy to quit and many smokers have several failed attempts on their own before being successful. Research has proven that participants who join a smoking cessation program in addition to their quit plans have greater success when quitting.
Benefits of quitting smoking can be felt within the first 24 hours and extend days, weeks, and months later. Taste, smell and circulation get better, walking gets easier, heart rate decreases, risk of heart attack, heart disease, stroke and cancer also decrease.
