Improves longevity: Quitting smoking reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes, which in turn increases life expectancy. According to a study by the University of Toronto, quitting smoking can increase life expectancy.

Reduce your risk of lung damage: Smoking causes serious damage to your lungs, leading to conditions like COPD, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. Quitting smoking reduces your risk of these conditions and improves your lung function over time.

Cancer Prevention: Quitting smoking reduces your risk of developing many types of cancer, especially lung cancer. Your risk of developing lung cancer gradually decreases after you stop smoking.

Good for pregnant women: Quitting smoking helps protect the health of both mother and fetus, reducing the risk of premature birth and pregnancy complications.
