Any smoking, even second hand smoke or occasional smoking, can cause changes to your heart and blood vessels. Smoking can raise your heart rate, make your blood vessels contract, and make your blood thicker. This means your heart has to work harder so Quitting smoking is one of the best things you CAN do for a healthy heart….one year after you quit, your risk of heart attack is reduced to half that of a smoker!
Make the next stop your last stop.
It’s natural to feel nervous or unsure when you call the Quit service but there is no need to worry. Quit Mid West Stop Smoking Advisors are fully trained, encouraging and non–judgemental. We are here to help and support you on your Quit journey.
Happy New Year from the Quit Mid West team.
Most people experience some cravings and withdrawal symptoms when they give up smoking. These can be uncomfortable, but they are temporary - most symptoms will be gone after a month.
Stop smoking medicine increases your chances of quitting for good. In fact, there is strong evidence that nicotine replacement therapy (gum, patch, oral spray, inhalator and lozenges) can increase the rate of quitting smoking by 50% to 60%.
