Stopping Smoking - Family benefits

Stopping smoking can really help your family:

• Your family won't have to breathe your second–hand smoke. Passive smoking causes a range of disorders from minor eye and throat irritations to heart disease and lung cancer. Children are particularly vulnerable because passive smoking increases their risk of cot death, asthma and other respiratory disorders
• You'll set a healthy example for your children
• You'll save money – smoking 20 cigarettes a day really adds up over a year
• You'll have more energy for family activities
