You probably know that smoking is one of the biggest preventable causes of premature death in the UK. It’s linked to a range of serious and often fatal conditions; including heart disease and lung cancer.
But there is good news. No matter what your age or how long you've been smoking, almost as soon as you quit, the health benefits begin.
Are you under 35? If you stop now, it’s likely you’ll live just as long as a non-smoker.
And even if you’re between 65 and 74, give up smoking and you'll have a better life expectancy beyond 75 than those who continue to smoke.
