Description
This informative pamphlet is a great resource for smokers who want to quit tobacco. Using tobacco is like playing Russian roulette, a 50% chance of staying healthy. Despite such appalling odds, approximately 24 million men and 22 million women in the United States still smoke. 440,000 smokers die every year from the effects of their habit. That’s one death every 72 seconds. And one every 67 seconds if you include the estimated 35,000 who will be killed each year by the effects of secondhand smoke.
And yet, another 3 million Americans, most of them under 18 will become addicted to nicotine this year. Which are more than enough to replace the smokers who will die from tobacco use. Half of these new smokers will eventually die of smoking’s profound health effects, as well… unless they quit.
This In Focus brochure informs the reader of the benefits of quitting tobacco through a detailed time line. It also meticulously discusses the difficulties of quitting tobacco and how to combat those difficulties, as well as how medication can improve a user’s quitting success rate. From this handout, the tobacco user will gain the knowledge and confidence they need to quit and abstain from nicotine.
