Smoking Cessation

Quitting smoking is the single most important thing you can do for your health.

Cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ of the body, causes many diseases, and reduces the health of smokers in general.

Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States.

Smoking causes about 90% of all lung cancer deaths in men and women, and about 80% of all deaths from COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).

Cigarette smoking increases the risk of death from all causes for both men and women.

Smokers are more likely than non-smokers to develop heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer.

Smoking can cause cancer almost anywhere in your body, including:

Bladder, Blood, Cervix, Colorectal, Esophagus, Kidney, Larynx, Liver, Mouth, Pancreas, Stomach, Trachea, Bronchus, and Lung.

If nobody smoked, 1 out of 3 cancer deaths in the United States would not happen.
