Reasons to stop smoking
There are so many good reasons to stop smoking.
It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been smoking or how many cigarettes you smoke a day, stop smoking now and you will see the benefits.
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.
Saving money
Stopping smoking can save you money. An average 10 a day smoker will spend over £2,500 a year on cigarettes.
When you quit, that money stays in your pocket.
Protect your loved ones
Stopping smoking helps protect the people you care about from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke. BBreathing in smoke can increase the risk of asthma, chest infections and other serious health problems, especially in children and babies. By quitting, you can create a safer home environment and reduce their risk of illness.
Improved mental health
Stopping smoking can boost your mood by reducing stress and help you feel calmer and more in control.
Healthier pregnancy
Stopping smoking during pregnancy gives your baby the best possible start, reducing the risk of complications before and after birth.
