Your lungs are made to breathe in fresh air. By quitting, you'll protect yourself from inhaling the harmful chemicals in cigarettes and vapes.
Think about all the time in your day you'll gain back by not smoking or vaping, time you can instead devote to spending with your family, friends or on a passion project.
Smoking and vaping exposes those nearby to the chemicals in second-hand smoke or vape aerosol. When you quit, you'll no longer be exposing your loved ones to these.
Did you know that people report feeling happier after quitting nicotine? In the months after quitting, you may start to feel less stressed, anxious, or depressed and you may feel you have more energy.
People who smoke are more likely to experience sleep disturbances, such as taking longer to fall asleep and having less total sleep time. Some people who vape say that the urge to vape can disturb their sleep. The good news is that when you quit, you can get some quality shut eye.
