Smoking is the most common preventable cause of death. Soon after quitting smoking your circulation begins to improve and blood pressure returns to normal. Your sense of smell and taste should return. Your breathing will improve. Your risk of getting cancer decreases every year you stay smoke free. 

 Why should you quit smoking? There are chemicals in the smoke that are toxic, causing chronic lung disease such as bronchitis, emphysema and lung cancer. Smoking increases your risk of developing cancer in the esophagus, mouth, throat, kidneys, bladder, pancreas, stomach, cervix and colon. Smoking also causes heart disease, strokes, increases the risk of hip fractures, cataracts, erectile dysfunction, premature birth and sudden infant death. Smoking even increases your risk of developing wrinkles.

Quitting is not easy and you may have short term side effects such as weight gain, irritability and anxiety. Some people require several attempts before they succeed. There are several ways to quit smoking including going “cold turkey”, step by step manuals, counseling, hypnotherapy and medication.
