Stop smoking

Stop smoking and feel better

Smoking's bad for you, but why does quitting make life better?

Lifestyle

When a person stops smoking they have more cash, £2,000 extra every year for a person smoking 20 a day. They are more appealing to the opposite sex. Men are less likely to have problems with erections. Women tend to be more fertile. Skin will age more slowly and teeth will be whiter.

Breath easier

People breath more easily and cough less when they stop smoking. It is unusual for non-smokers to get short of breath doing simple tasks at any age. Life-long smokers are often breathless. Within 9 months of stopping smoking the lungs work better. Stopping smoking may make the difference between a healthy active old age and one dogged by breathing problems.

Live longer

It's common knowledge that smokers die younger. A man of 30 who gives up smoking will live on average 10 years longer. It does not matter at what age smoking is stopped it will always improve the chances of a longer life.

Be more relaxed

Studies show that smokers are more stressed. They spend much of their time craving cigarettes and the relief they get from smoking is only short lived.

Do it for yourself

Stopping smoking produces a sense of achievement and well-being. People who give up often say food tastes better and that they have more energy.

So, if you want to be richer, healthier, live longer, be more relaxed, and have a better quality of life, you should stop smoking as soon as you can.

Do it now.
