The benefits for you:
For smokers, quitting is the best thing you can do for your health and the health of those around you. It is never too late to quit, and the benefits are almost immediate.
The benefits for your loved ones:
Whenever you light up, second-hand smoke is produced. This is the smoke exhaled by you, plus the smoke created by the lit end of a cigarette. This isn’t just unpleasant; it can be a killer and children are particularly vulnerable to second-hand smoke. Children have less well-developed airways, lungs and immune systems and are more likely to suffer from breathing problems, allergies, chest infections and are at greater risk of cot death.
