Smoking can increase your risk of serious health problems, like a heart attack, stroke, or even cancer. It can also lead to problems with your breathing, like COPD.
It’s never too late to cut down or quit. You’ll begin to see almost immediate improvements to your health. The sooner you quit, the sooner you’ll notice the changes. Plus, the average smoker can save around £49 a week by quitting – that’s over £2,500 a year!
