Quitting Smoking

If you don't smoke - congratulations! If you live a reasonably healthy lifestyle, you will probably outlive your friends who choose to smoke!

If you smoke - the single best action you can take to improve your life is to stop smoking. It's hard. And it doesn't have to be. You can lick that habit and start enjoying a much healthier lifestyle!

The benefits are well proven:

When you quit smoking...

* Your body begins to heal from the effects of the nicotine within 12 hours after your last cigarette.

* Your heart and lungs start repairing the damage caused by cigarette smoke.

* You breathe easier and your smoker's cough starts to go away.

* You lower your risk for illness and death from heart disease, stroke, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, lung cancer, and other types of cancer.

* You contribute to cleaner air, especially for children who are at risk for illnesses because they breathe others' cigarette smoke.
