WHY SMOKING
CESSATION?

Smoking cessation is crucial for young teens and youth because we are at a higher risk of developing long-term health issues: including lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory problems. Early intervention helps prevent addiction from taking hold, as nicotine dependence develops quickly in young people. Quitting early reduces the lifetime health risks, and promoting smoking cessation fosters healthier habits, reducing the social and economic burden of tobacco use on future generations. ​​
