Better health

Stopping smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health. As soon as you quit, your body begins to repair itself, your heart rate slows, and your lungs start to clear out mucus and toxins. Over time, your circulation improves, breathing becomes easier and your risk of serious illness, such as heart disease and stroke fall significantly.
