REASONS TO STOP SMOKING
Quitting smoking now is one of the most powerful steps you can take to improve your overall health. Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States.
Quitting smoking cleanses your body of harmful substances. More than 4,000 individual compounds have been identified in tobacco and tobacco smoke. Among these are about 60 compounds that cause cancer.
When you quit smoking, you stop hurting those around you. The secondhand smoke from your cigarettes can make your family and friends have more colds and asthma attacks. It can also put them at risk for heart and lung diseases, and even lung cancer.
Mothers who quit smoking during pregnancy, then start smoking again once their babies are born, increase their children's chances of developing asthma and raises the risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
When you quit smoking, you help prevent your children from smoking.
People who quit, no matter what their age, live longer than people who continue to smoke.
Quitting smoking during pregnancy lowers the risk of birth defects to your unborn child.
Tobacco use by pregnant women has been linked with increased risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and mental retardation; secondhand smoke worsens the health of children with asthma.
Smokers who quit before age 50 have half the risk of dying in the next 15 years compared to those who continue to smoke.
When you stop smoking, your pets will be happier. Did you know that secondhand smoke increases the risk of lung cancer in dogs? And causes allergies in Cats.
When smokers quit within 20 minutes of that last cigarette, the body begins a series of changes that continues for years. Why not start your body on the way to good health.
