Limit sunbathing to an hour or two. Avoid the hours between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun is most intense. Even on overcast days, most ultraviolet rays penetrate the clouds. If you or your child do start to sunburn, cover up at once or go indoors and use a soothing cream. Steps to Stop Smoking Quitting tobacco is not easy, but it's well worth the effort.
Smoking increases a person's risk of heart disease, cancer and stroke.
In addition to lung cancer, smoking can lead to cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, pancreas, kidney and bladder. After breaking the tobacco habit, an ex-smoker's progressive decline in breathing capacity ceases and the risk of heart disease gradually falls to that of someone who has never smoked. Successful methods for preparing to quit are as different as the people who use them. Most important for success is wanting to stop smoking. Think of quitting in terms of one day at a time and choose the approaches that make sense to you.
