Let's quit smoking together
Reap the benefits of being smoke-free
Brighter smile. Clearer skin. Decreased cancer, as well as heart and lung disease risk. Lower cholesterol. These are just a few of the many benefits of being smoke-free. Quitting isn’t easy, but the benefits are real. Focus on the meaningful improvements you’ll gain over time.
Maybe you or someone you know already tried to quit, but didn’t have much luck. That’s ok. No two quit journeys are the same. And progress looks different for everyone.
Knowing the risks of e-cigarettes and vaping
Many people have turned to e-cigarettes and vaping. Some believe these are safe ways to transition from quitting cigarettes to not smoking at all. Did you know that e-cigarettes usually have nicotine, too? It’s highly addictive.
There are still many things that we don’t know about vaping. It’s still unknown what chemicals are used in the vapor and how they affect your health.
