Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, and pulmonary disease while also putting you at extra risk for colds and the flu, ulcers, osteoporosis and many other illnesses.  Your smoking doesn’t just affect you.  Everyone around you breathes your second-hand smoke, which puts them at risk for cancer and other diseases.
 
Quitting smoking isn't easy but it's worth the effort.  You'll feel healthier once you quit and so will everyone around you.  If you want to quit, we can help!
