Not Ready to Quit

Your concerns are real…
Maybe the idea of quitting is scary. Or perhaps you know about the dangers, but aren't ready to quit. Many smokers have mixed feelings about smoking. This is normal. They want to quit, but they would also like to go on smoking.

Perhaps you tried to quit smoking and know it can be hard. It can be difficult because nicotine is a very addictive drug.

But half of all smokers have quit! Many people quit temporarily, before being able to quit for good. Each time you try to quit, you learn about what helps you get through the day.

Know tobacco…
Some tobacco companies are marketing tobacco products they claim are safer. The truth is, there is no safe tobacco product. All tobacco products are harmful. It is the one product that when used as directed, kills.

Think about trying…
Maybe you are already experiencing some smoking-related symptoms, such as cough or frequent colds. If you have a family history of heart disease or cancer you may be especially concerned about smoking.

Today, many people find that being a smoker is a burden and a hassle. Think about trying to quit.

Quitting smoking is one of the most important things that you will ever do:

• You will live longer and live better.

• Quitting will lower your chance of having a heart attack, stroke or cancer.

• The people you live with, especially your children, will be healthier.

• You will have extra money to spend on things other than cigarettes.
