SmokingIf you are a smoker, quitting smoking is the single most beneficial thing you can do for your health. Quitting will not only greatly reduce your risk of lung cancer, but many other cancers as well. Other benefits include a drastically reduced risk of heart and respiratory disease, fewer colds and flus, and less premature wrinkling of the skin. Positive health benefits begin within 20 minutes of your last cigarette, including a drop in blood pressure, an improved sense of smell and taste and fresher breath. And did you know that only one year after you quit, your risk of coronary heart disease will drop to half that of a current smoker? Quitting smoking is a challenge; it often takes multiple attempts before you succeed. Nevertheless, you, too can become one of the 3 million Americans who successfully quit each year. We hope you will find the information below helpful. You can make that change!
