Other benefits of quitting

There are health benefits, plus you'll save money and protect others from inhaling chemicals. But there are many other benefits, too.

1. Regain control

At times you might feel like smoking or vaping controls you. Quitting can give you a sense of freedom, lift your mood and boost your confidence, as well as other areas of your life.

2. Positive role model

Quitting sets a great example for the children, family, friends and others around you. It can even reduce the chances of them taking up smoking or vaping themselves.

3. Family time

Quitting can give you more energy to play with your kids and more money to spend on them, too.

4. Less hassle

Disapproving looks or comments from people who don't smoke or vape can make you feel embarrassed or judged. You might even try to keep your nicotine addiction a secret.

It’s also a hassle having to make sure you have enough cigarettes or a vape with you or enough money to buy them when you run out.

5. Protect the environment

Quitting smoking or vaping can reduce waste and pollution.
