Research: Effects of smoking on Heart Health
Smokers are almost twice as likely to have a heart attack compared with people who have never smoked.
Stopping smoking has huge benefits and it’s never too late to give up.
Why should I quit?
Stopping smoking is the single best thing you can do for your heart health, and the good news is that the risk to your heart health decreases significantly soon after you stop.
By quitting you’ll be improving your own health by dramatically reducing your risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and a variety of cancers. You’ll feel better, and have more money to spend on other things that you enjoy.
