It's never too late to quit smoking and enjoy the benefits of a longer, healthier life.
Smoking is the chief avoidable cause of death and disease.
Quitting smoking decreases the risk of lung cancer, many other cancers, heart disease, stroke, chronic lung disease, and other respiratory illnesses. Quitting smoking also adds years to your life expectancy. Even people over 60 can add years to their life when they give up smoking. More than 38 million Americans have quit smoking cigarettes since 1965, and almost two-thirds of smokers say they would like to quit. This is about one in five of all Michigan deaths.
