Stop smoking and your risk of heart
disease will be reduced considerably. If you don't stop smoking
you are two to six times more likely to suffer a heart attack than a
nonsmoker and the risk increases with the number of cigarettes you
smoke each day. Smoking also boosts the risk of stroke.
If you have had a heart attack and
you stop smoking you will reduce your chances of having a second heart
attack. One year after smokers stop smoking, the risk for heart attack
is cut by over 50%.
Stop smoking and you will likely add
years to your life, breathe more easily, and have more energy. You
will have extra money for spending or saving, and food will taste
better. When you stop smoking, you join over a million people who
break the habit each year. Whether you are young or old, you will also
have:
less chance of cancer, heart attack,
and lung disease,
better blood circulation,
healthier family members, particularly
children and grandchildren,
a healthy lifestyle example for
children and grandchildren,
no odor of smoke in your clothes and
hair, and
a more sensitive sense of smell.
