Want to Stop Smoking?
The dangers of smoking have been well known for many years. In the UK, it is estimated that every year around 22% of all male deaths, and 16% of all female deaths, are due to smoking. That is well over 100,000 deaths, all directly attributable to smoking.
The Benefits of Quitting Smoking
The good news is that once you stop smoking, your life expectancy gets better very quickly. Smokers under the age of 35 who stop will have a near-normal life expectancy, and there are immediate health and social benefits for people of any age who stop.
Stop Smoking and Improve Your Health. What could be more important?
- Smoking is responsible for nearly all cases of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). COPD includes diseases like emphysema and chronic bronchitis which are associated with shortness of breath and the inability to do things you want to do.
- Cancer. 90% of primary lung cancers are also caused by smoking, and the risk of many other cancers (mouth, bladder, kidneys, pancreas, stomach, liver, colon, and cervix) are also increased by smoking.
- Heart Disease. If you smoke, you are 2 to 3 times more likely to have a heart attack than a non-smoker, and much more likely to die from heart disease. Smokers are also more likely to have strokes, blood clots, and angina.
Quit Smoking and Improve Your sex life
Smoking increases the risk of impotence by about 50% for men in their 30s and 40s. Smoking also makes you less able to keep going because of the shortness of breath. In a recent study it was estimated that smoking women were only 72% as fertile as non-smokers.
Improve Your appearance by Quitting Smoking
- Your skin. Quitting allows more oxygen and blood to the skin. The yellow tint to your hands will also disappear.
- Your breath. Your breath will no longer smell like an ashtray. Neither will your hair and clothes.
- Improve the taste of food. Smoking may suppress your appetite, but it also deadens your taste buds.
If you can't do it for yourself – DO IT FOR YOUR KIDS
- If you smoke, it's likely your children will too. Your children are nearly 3 times more likely to become addicted to cigarettes if both parents are smokers.
- If children are frequently exposed to cigarette smoke, they are at increased risk of developing asthma, respiratory disease, cot death and chest infections.
