Every day without cigarettes or vapes makes you healthier.
Smoking and vaping are harmful. The good news is that when you quit, your body starts to heal right away.
Within a day of quitting smoking, oxygen flows more freely through your body. In a week, your senses sharpen and your body boosts protective antioxidants. By three months, your lungs start clearing out toxins and coughing eases. After a year, breathing feels easier, and within five years, your stroke risk drops dramatically.
While the long-term effects of vaping are not yet fully known, what we do know is alarming.
Most vapes have nicotine, even if the label says they do not. Nicotine is addictive and can harm the brain, especially for teens. It can make it harder to think and remember things. Vaping also raises heart rate and blood pressure, and chemicals found in vapes - like formaldehyde and benzene - are known cancer-causing agents. Vapes can also explode and cause burns.
Vaping triples the chance of starting smoking, pulling people into the same cycle of harm.
The bottom line? Whether it’s cigarettes or vapes, both carry serious health risks. Quitting is one of the best choices you can make. The health benefits start straight away and keep getting better.
