It's Never Too Late to Quit Smoking

Smoking shortens the life of a smoker by 12 years. But there is good news. By quitting, smokers may get back years they might have missed.

Even people who have smoked for many years have better health after they quit. They lower their risk of death from cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses.

And there are other rewards from quitting. You can breathe better while you exercise. You will protect your children and grandchildren from secondhand smoke.
