Smoking

Quit2Win
Stopping smoking is the greatest single step you can take to improve your health and life expectancy. Once the daily intake of carbon monoxide and other poisons stop, the body can begin to repair the damage done by smoking. Stopping smoking before middle age avoids more than 90% of the health risks of smoking.
The Quit 2 Win awareness day is a great opportunity to speak to a smoking cessation specialist; they will provide up-to-date and personalised information about smoking. This will greatly increase your chances of quitting smoking and staying stopped. You can visit any or all of the three sessions:
