📽Despite several anti-smoking campaigns, the number of smokers continues to rise. If you do smoke or know someone who does, it's not too late to quit and regain your health.
💪🏽For those interested in quitting, there are several options to help you transition smoothly- nicotine replacement therapy with a gum or patch can you fight the urge. Your doctor may also prescribe medication if you are still struggling. Two popular medications are varenicline and bupropion. They are both safe and effective for tobacco smoking cessation. Remember to always visit your doctor for guidance and support on your journey
🏨Health benefits of quitting:
After quitting, within:
👉🏽20 minutes - your blood pressure drops to a level similar to what it was before your last cigarette.
👉🏽24 hours - your risk of having a heart attack starts to drop
👉🏽1 year - your added risk of coronary heart disease is half than that of a smoker’s
👉🏽5 years - you have the same chance of having a stroke as a non-smoker
👉🏽10 Years - your chance of dying from lung cancer is much lower. So is your chance of getting cancer in your mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and/or pancreas
👉🏽15 Years - your risk of coronary heart disease is similar to that of a non-smoker.
