Smoking

Smoking is the single biggest preventable cause of premature death in the UK today; it can shorten your life by 10 years

Stopping smoking is one of the best things you can do to improve your health. Quitting reduces your chances of cancer, heart disease and stroke, COPD and dementia. Your body starts to repair itself from the moment you stop smoking, and you will start to feel the benefits from the day you quit. 

Quitting can save you money too; you could save over £400 a month if you stop buying cigarettes. You can get help to quit from Sunderland Stop Smoking Service which offers free, friendly, confidential support and advice to help people who want to stop smoking.
