Stop Smoking TODAY for a better life!!

The Human Body was actually designed to last a very very long time, but it's what we do and put into our bodies that will determine the length of time that we will have here on earth.

Smoking remains the largest preventable cause of death and illness in the UK, with approximately 120,000 people dying of smoking-related illnesses each year. The main diseases caused by smoking are chronic obstructive lung disease, e.g. emphysema, many types of cancer and coronary heart disease - although it is actually associated with over 50 diseases.

It is estimated that one in two smokers will die from a smoking related disease, causing, on average, six to eight years of life lost per smoker. Smokers can also impact the health of those around them, for example their children, through passive smoking.

Smoking not only has health implications, but costs money, is a major cause of fires in the home and is also responsible for a significant proportion of litter on our streets.

What do cigarettes contain?
Tobacco smoke contains around 4,000 chemicals - here's just a few of them and their impact on the body:

Nicotine A drug that stimulates the brain and keeps people hooked on smoking. It is responsible for the withdrawal symptoms experienced by those giving up, such as craving, anxiety, restlessness, headaches, hunger, irritability and difficulty with concentration.

Tar This can settle in and damage the surfaces of the lungs, eventually causing lung diseases.
Carbon Monoxide Combines with haemoglobin in the blood more readily than oxygen, making breathing less effective and putting strain on the heart.

Why give up?
Giving up smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health no matter what your age - and you can start to notice the difference almost immediately!
After 20 minutes Your blood pressure and pulse rate fall. This is important because high blood pressure increases your chance of having a heart attack or stroke.
After 8 hours The level of carbon monoxide in your blood drops. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that gets into your bloodstream when you smoke and makes it more difficult for your body to get all the oxygen it needs.

After 48 hours There is no more nicotine left in your body. Your taste and smell starts to improve and blood flows round your body more easily, reducing the risk of a coronary thrombosis (a blockage of the arteries or vessels leading to the heart).
After 72 hours Your breathing becomes easier and energy levels increase.
After two weeks Your circulation improves and you begin to feel fitter.

Here are 3 great programs to help overcome and win one of the most important battles in your life.
