Quitting smoking is one of the best decisions you can make for your health. Smoking is a leading cause of severe health issues like lung cancer, heart attack, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. It reduces your life expectancy, is costly, and second-hand smoke poses significant health risks to your loved ones.
The good news is that quitting smoking is achievable with the right help and support. No matter how long you’ve been smoking, your risk of smoking-related diseases drops significantly once you quit. Statistics show that only 3-5% of people successfully quit without professional help. So, speak with a clinician today and take the first step towards a healthier, smoke-free life.
When you quit smoking, you may experience side effects, particularly in the first few weeks. Common symptoms include:
If you experience any of these symptoms, talk to our clinicians for support.
Several treatments are available to support you in quitting smoking. Clinicians may recommend various options as part of a comprehensive plan. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of each treatment with your healthcare provider to find the best approach for you.
