THE BENEFITS OF QUITTING SMOKING


The benefits of quitting smoking are very clear. Most importantly, you will lower your risk for serious illness and disease like heart attack, stroke and cancer. And the people you live with will be healthier because they won’t be around your smoke. When you quit, you will again have to deal with the hassle of leaving you workplace, someone’s home, your own home, a restaurant, or other places to smoke. And over time, you will notice that your teeth and breath are cleaner, stain marks on your fingers and fingernails are fading, and that you are able to smell and taste things better. Your skin will also wrinkle less and you will feel stronger and be able to do more activity.


Nearly 80 percent of those who quit smoking gain weight. The average weight gain after quitting smoking is just five pounds. But keep in mind that 56 percent of who continue to smoke will gain weight too.
