Tobacco use accounts for at least 30% of all cancer deaths and 87% of lung cancer death. If you use tobacco, now is a great time to kick the habit for good! Does ending your tobacco use really make a difference? Yes! Within two to three weeks of quitting, your risk of having a heart attack begins to drop. By the end of your first smoke-free year, your risk of coronary artery and heart disease is reduced by 50%.
