SMOKING CESSATION
Description
The US Surgeon General has stated, "Smoking
cessation (stopping smoking) represents the
single most important step that smokers can
take to enhance the length and quality of
their lives.
Numerous studies have been done on effect of
smoking on health and a person life span.
What they found was that people who smoked
had a higher incidence of heart disease,
strokes and lung cancer. Smoking while
pregnant caused health issues for the fetus
and children growing up with smokers were
equally affected.
Statistical studies
show the following:
Smoking has been
identified as the single most preventable
cause of death and disease in the United
States.
Cigarettes
currently cause approximately 20% of all
deaths in the U.S.
According to the
American Heart Association in the United
States, an estimated 25.1 million men (23.4
percent) and 20.9 million women (18.5
percent) are smokers
According to WHO
(World Health Organization)
About a third of
the male adult global population smokes.
Smoking
related-diseases kill one in 10 adults
globally, or cause four million deaths. By
2030, if current trends continue, smoking
