Of Interest: Stop Smoking


a photo of a crushed cigarette Fewer and fewer adult Americans are smoking each year. Quitting smoking can save your life. Smoking causes at least 30 percent of all cancer deaths and is responsible for early cardiovascular disease and death.

On November 20, join with millions of other smokers to take part in the Great American Smokeout and say "no" to tobacco for 24 hours. 70 percent of US smokers say they want to quit, and smoking cessation has substantial and immediate health benefits. Just 20 minutes after you quit smoking, your heart rate and blood pressure drops and after a year your excessive risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smokers. 15 years after you quit smoking, your risk of coronary heart disease is that of a non-smokers. Stop smoking today!
