Smoking-Get Help to Quit
Quitting Smoking
Health is just one of the reasons why smokers choose to
give up. For many people it is the most important, but for some the
money that they will save if they give up is the incentive. For
others it is their concerns about the effects of passive smoking on
their family and friends.
Its never too late to stop!
Research has shown that quitting even well into middle age, will
help to aviod most of the risk of developing cancer. Stopping
earlier will avoid over 90% of the health risks associated with
smoking.
