Smoking Cessation

Smoking can cause many diseases that lead to death or becoming disabled, such as diabetes, lung cancer, and heart disease. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 7 million people die from smoking every year. Smoking cessation means quitting or stopping tobacco smoking. Tobacco smoke contains nicotine, which can be very addicting. It is not easy to quit smoking right away. It takes a lot of time to get used to changing smoking habits. It is important to take things step-by-step until you are able to quit smoking fully.
