Let us help you live tobacco-free
Why quit? You probably already know that smoking is bad for your health and that quitting will reduce your risk of getting a disease related to smoking, such as heart or lung disease. But did you also know that:
Immediate benefits1
Heart rate and blood pressure, which are abnormally high while smoking, begin to return to normal.
› Within a few hours after quitting, the carbonmonoxide level in your blood drops to normal.(Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s abilityto carry oxygen.)
› Within a few weeks of quitting, you mightnotice it’s easier to walk up the stairs becauseyou may be less short of breath. Cilia – tinybroom-like hairs that clean your lungs – start toregrow and regain normal function very quicklyafter you quit smoking.
› Within several months of quitting, peoplecan expect substantial improvements inlung function.
Long-term benefits1
› Quitting reduces the risk of cancer, heartdisease and Chronic Obstructive PulmonaryDisease (COPD).
› Regardless of age, you are less likely to diefrom a smoking-related illness, than thosewho continue to smoke.
