If you’re a smoker, quitting smoking is the most important step you can take to improve your health. Smoking increases your risk of lung cancer, throat cancer, emphysema, heart disease, high blood pressure, ulcers, gum disease, and other conditions. Smoking can cause coughing, poor athletic ability, and sore throats. It can also cause face wrinkles, stained teeth, and dull skin.

Remember: It’s never too late to quit smoking. Save your money, prolong your life, and quit today. Some people fear the weight gain that sometimes comes with quitting smoking, but it’s usually no more than 5 pounds and is easily remedied. The smoking is far worse than the weight gain. Your healthcare provider can help you decide which smoking cessation method will work best for you.
