Stop Smoking Program
Everyone knows smoking is bad for you, but like any drug, kicking the habit isn't easy. It takes a lot of willpower and a lot of support. Studies show that taking a smoking cessation class can double your chances for success.
There are many benefits to stop smoking, including:
- within 24 hours, decreased risk of heart attack
- decreased risk of stroke and cancer
- improved circulation to arms and legs (hands and feet become warmer)
- decreases in coughing, sinus congestion, and shortness of breath
- improved skin color and decreased wrinkling
- improved senses of taste and smell
- increased energy and endurance
- a sense of freedom from a bad habit
- more free time
- cleaner house, car, clothes, and hair
- money saved
- improved pregnancy outcomes
