THE LEAP OF YOUR LIFE!If you smoke, consider this: More than 1 million people in the United States successfully quit smoking every year. Even if you have tried quitting before, it’s important to keep at it. Many smokers make a few attempts before they stop for good. Most people eventually succeed.

• After you quit, your body will start to heal immediately

• After 24 hours, the oxygen level in your blood will return to normal. Your chance of a heart attack is reduced.

• After 1 to 9 months, circulation, smell, and taste improve. You’ll have better lung function, more energy, and fewer colds.

• After 1 year, your risk of heart disease is half that of a smoker’s.

• After 5 years, your risk of a stroke drops significantly.

• After 10 years, your risk of lung cancer drops to half that of a smoker’s.

When you’re ready to stop smoking, we’re here to help. Let’s find out what works for you. For more information, call our Health Education Center at (916) 746-4369.
