Reasons to quit smoking

Smoking kills

• One in two lifetime smokers will die from smoking.

• Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, chronic bronchitis, asthma and emphysema.

Your smoking affects others too

• Smoking around others can affect their health too.

• For non-smokers, other people’s smoke can cause lung cancer and heart disease. It

can also irritate the nose, eyes and throat and lead to chronic coughing, phlegm production,

shortness of breath and chest illness.

• Other people's smoke also increases the incidence of asthma attacks, especially in

children.

Smoking may make it harder for you to have a family

• Men who smoke may suffer impotence and smoking can also affect sperm quality.

• Women who smoke take longer to fall pregnant and are more likely to miscarry.

• Mothers who smoke during pregnancy are more likely to have low birthweight babies,

and to give birth to babies who are premature, stillborn, or die shortly after birth.

Quitting sets a good example for your family

• It shows you care about your health and the health of your family.

• If you quit, your fitness will improve and you have a better chance of keeping up with

your kids!

• And the money you used to spend on cigarettes will be there to spend on yourself

and your family.

Quit and you’ll feel some of the benefits straight away

• After 24 hours, most carbon monoxide from smoking is out of your system. Lungs

work better and you can do more before running short of breath.

• After two days, senses of taste and smell sharpen. Breath, hair, fingers and teeth

are cleaner.

• Within a month of quitting, your blood pressure should return to its normal level.

• Within two months, blood flow to hands and feet improves, the toes and fingers stay

warm and you will have more energy.

• After about three months, men and women become more fertile. The lungs may

have regained the capacity to clean themselves properly.

Quit to live longer

• Quitting smoking reduces the risk of lung cancer, other cancers, heart attack, stroke,

and chronic lung disease.

• Smokers who quit live longer than those who quit later in life. For example, a person

who stops smoking before age 50 has half the risk of dying in the next 15 years compared

with continuing smokers.

• On average, smoking reduces your life span by over 10 years.

• At about three months, most quitters have become established non smokers.

Quitting is not always easy…

• Every year about 1.7 million Australian smokers try to quit and 180,000 succeed permanently.

• One of the things that make it hard to quit is that smokers are addicted to the nicotine

in cigarettes. There are medical products available to help you stop smoking and to

deal with the symptoms of withdrawal.

• Each time you stop smoking you learn more about quitting and it is never too late to

try again.

Quitting Tips

Getting Ready to Quit

o Set a date for quitting. If possible, have a friend quit smoking

with you.

o Notice when and why you smoke. Try to find the things in

your daily life that you often do while smoking (such as

drinking your morning cup of coffee or driving a car).

o Change your smoking routines: Keep your cigarettes in a

different place. Smoke with your other hand. Don't do

anything else when smoking. Think about how you feel when

you smoke.

o Smoke only in certain places, such as outdoors.

o When you want a cigarette, wait a few minutes. Try to think of

something to do instead of smoking; you might chew gum or

drink a glass of water.

o Buy one pack of cigarettes at a time. Switch to a brand of

cigarettes you don't like.

On the Day You Quit

o Get rid of all your cigarettes. Put away your ashtrays.

o Change your morning routine. Stay busy.

o When you get the urge to smoke, do something else instead.

o Carry other things to put in your mouth, such as gum, or hard

candy.

o Reward yourself at the end of the day for not smoking. See a

movie or go out and enjoy your favorite meal.

Staying Quit

o Don't worry if you are sleepier or more short-tempered than

usual; these feelings will pass.

o Try to exercise.

o Consider the positive things about quitting, such as how much

you like yourself as a non-smoker, health benefits for you and

your family. A positive attitude will help you through the

tough times.

o When you feel tense, try to keep busy, think about ways to

solve the problem, tell yourself that smoking won't make it

any better, and go do something else.

o Eat regular meals. Feeling hungry is sometimes mistaken for

the desire to smoke.

o Start a money jar with the money you save by not buying

cigarettes.

o Let others know that you have quit smoking-most people will

support you. It's good to talk to others about your quitting.

o If you slip and smoke, don't be discouraged. Many former

smokers tried to stop several times before they finally

succeeded. Quit again.
