No Butts About It

Butt out! Quit smoking on November 20th as part of the Great American Smokeout.

It's time for the Great American Smokeout! Take the challenge and cut your butt habit.

Why?

Smoking has a huge impact on your health. Quitting can help you reverse the ill effects smoking has on you. In just a single day, you can lower your heart rate, blood pressure, and carbon monoxide levels.
Need another reason? How about not watching your money go up in smoke? If you smoke 12 cigarettes a day at $6 per pack, then you're spending more than $1,200 a year on smoking. Figure out how much you're spending using the American Cancer Society's calculator.
You're still looking for more reasons? You are stubborn! Fine. How about having a life? By quitting longterm, you reduce your risk for stroke, heart disease, and lung cancer.

How?

First, you need to make the decision to quit and set a date. (No time like the present!)
Next you need to be prepared for withdrawal. Simple tricks like chewing gum and rewarding yourself for success can help you get through the rough patches.
