Quitting smoking prolongs your lifespan. Let's start now!
Former smokers live longer than continuing smokers. Quitting smoking has major and immediate health benefits for all, with or without smoking-related diseases, and regardless of gender and age.
For a start, smoking cessation decreases the risks of many types of strokes, cancers, heart attacks and chronic lung diseases within one short year. Women who stop smoking before pregnancy or in their first trimester reduce their risks of birth complications to that of non-smokers.
So why not quit today?
