Why Not Quit Smoking Now?

You CAN quit smoking even if you have been smoking for as long as 30 years.

If you have been smoking for this long and you stop - your risk of heart disease halves within a year of quitting.

Why not quit smoking NOW?

No one is pretending it is easy to quit smoking - some people take up to 12 attempts before they succeed - the lucky ones succeed at their first try.



The secret is to stick at it. Don't succumb to the remarks of your friends if your first attempt should fail - they may secretly wish you to keep smoking and keep them company.

Show them that you DO have willpower.




Why not quit smoking now? It can be done.

Leading UK cardiologist, Dr. Leonard Shapiro of The Papworth Hospital, Cambridge, is very direct. He says

'Stop smoking right now - it's the most powerful risk factor for heart, lung disease and cancer.'

He advises those people in their fifties 'Quitting might be difficult, but there are many NHS schemes to help. While the cancer risk reverses slowly, the chance of sudden cardiac death returns to low levels within a fortnight.'

What better advice can you get?
