Smoking shortens a person's life by 10 to 14 years. If they stop before age 40, smokers reduce their risk of dying from smoking-related diseases by 90%.* After 40, quitting for more than 10 years can give a person 10 more years of life compared to people who don't quit.*

Quitting smoking can be hard, but people are succeeding more than ever before. There are more former smokers than current smokers living in the U.S. today.* And there are more ways to make quitting easier, like one-on-one smoking-cessation programs.

Smoking increases the chances of developing over 50 different diseases. Tobacco users are at higher risk of many medical conditions:

• Asma
• Hemorragia cerebral
• Problemas respiratorios
• Cáncer (fumar es la causa del 90% de los casos de cáncer de pulmón)
• Diabetes
• Ataque cardíaco
• Presión arterial alta
• Impotencia
• Infecciones
• Daño en los nervios
• Derrame cerebral
• Deterioro dental

La nicotina es muy adictiva. Ocho de cada diez personas que tratan de dejar de fumar vuelven a empezar después de solo una semana.

Just because someone has not been successful in the past does not mean they won't be successful now. It can take up to 30 attempts to quit.* With help, millions of people have quit smoking.

When a person quits smoking, their health will improve. Here's how the body recovers after quitting smoking:*

First week: Blood pressure goes down, and carbon monoxide in the blood drops to normal.

1 to 12 months: Episodes of coughing and being short of breath go down.

1 to 2 years: The risk of heart attack goes down.

5 to 10 years: The risk of cancers of the mouth, throat and voice box (larynx) is cut in half, and the risk of stroke goes down.

10 years: The risk of lung cancer is about half that of a person who is still smoking. The risk of cancers of the bladder, esophagus and kidney goes down.

15 years: The risk of coronary heart disease is close to that of a nonsmoker.

20 years: The risk of certain cancers drops to close to that of someone who does not smoke. The risk of cervical cancer goes down.

The following symptoms* occur in some people and can make it hard to quit:

• Ira
• Ansiedad
• Antojos intensos
• Irritation
• Tristeza
• Sleep issues
• Trouble concentrating

If a person’s symptoms lead to thoughts of hurting themselves or others, call or text the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, which is free and confidential.

A MinuteClinic provider can work one-on-one with a person who wants to quit by building a realistic plan to quit smoking as part of the Start to Stop® smoking-cessation program. The provider will give ongoing coaching and support outside of MinuteClinic visits. They can help track habits and milestones and decide which medicine and nicotine-replacement solutions best fit the situation.
