Stop Smoking

If you stop smoking, you'll add years to your life, breathe more easily, and have more energy. Stop smoking and you will have extra money for spending or saving, and food will taste better. When you stop smoking, you join over a million people who stop smoking each year. Smoking brings an early death to more than 400,000 people in the United States each year. Lifelong smokers have a 1 in 2 chance of dying from a smoking-related disease. As soon as you stop smoking, your lungs, heart, and circulatory system start to get healthier so it's never too late to stop smoking. Often your local American Cancer Society, American Lung Association, or your local health department will sponsor quit smoking classes.
