Five reasons to quit smoking TODAY

If you smoke more than 25 cigarettes a day – you’re 25 times more likely to get lung cancer than a non-smoker.

Why not stop today? Dr. Hugh’s Gallagher outlines the top five reasons to quit smoking today:

You’ll feel better within a matter of days

“Smokers will often say that within a day or so of stopping their taste and sense of smell completely changes, that in itself can increase appetite and lead to healthier lifestyle choices”

Your immune system will be much stronger

“You’ll be less prone to picking up and getting symptoms of viral infections that are about at this time of year. Often people don’t realise that smokers get viral, bacterial and other infections much more frequently”

Your lung volume will increase and recover

“As a consequence you’ll experience less breathlessness and will feel much fitter. Quitting smoking at any age is positive for your health and especially for your lungs.”

You’re less likely to develop lung cancer

“This isn’t one you’ll notice immediately, but by stopping smoking you’re far less likely to develop conditions like this.” Stomach, mouth, and oesophagus cancer are just some of the ten types of cancer that by being a smoker, you are at higher risk of developing”

It will benefit others around you

“You not smoking will have a major beneficial impact for those that you share your life with, that’s children and adults alike. Passive smoke causes many of the same risks as smoking a cigarette does.”
