Smoking is the single most preventable cause of disease and death in the United States.  It’s scary but true: Tobacco is the only consumer product known to kill half of its users. Don’t you be one of them!

Smoking causes almost one-third of all cancer deaths and one-fifth of deaths from heart disease and stroke. Smoking complicates diabetes, and recent studies now link tobacco use to an increased risk of developing the disease.

But there’s good news too. The health benefits of stopping smoking are immediate and long-lasting. And it’s never too late to quit – for your health and the health of the people you love.

The American Cancer Society, American Diabetes Association, and American Heart Association are committed to public policies that help protect young people from getting hooked on tobacco and to helping smokers quit.

If you’re a smoker, ask your doctor for help with quitting, and contact us for resources that can double your chances of success.

Quitting smoking is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do, but you'll be glad you did.
