Love your body
Quitting tobacco has many benefits on the body with immediate effect:

  • Lower risk of cancer and heart disease
  • Less stress on the heart (the risk of heart attack goes down to that of a non-smoker in three year’s time)
  • Loved ones will not be harmed by passive smoke
  • Smoker´s cough (persistent cough and phlegm) will most probably disappear
  • Teeth will become whiter and cleaner
  • No more bad breath

Hold your own
There are also many unsaid social benefits of quitting. The tobacco product often takes over one´s life. By eliminating tobacco from one´s life, you will be the one in control. A renewed self-image and self-confidence will leave you feeling peppy and energized about life!

Pocket Wise
Find out what smoking has cost you over the years through our Smoking Cost Calculator and what will be saved if you quit today. By quitting you will have more money to spend on other things that you need or have always wanted.

It´s never too late to start over!
Quitting smoking lowers many health risks very quickly. Stopping tobacco use even in middle age avoids the increased risk of death from tobacco. The benefits of stopping at earlier ages are even greater.
