Quit for your loved ones
Did you know? Quitting smoking benefits your loved ones too!
When you quit smoking, you’re not just making a positive change for yourself.
You're also protecting the health and wellbeing of those you care about the most.
Smoking doesn’t just harm your health, it also exposes those around you to the harmful effects of second-hand smoke. If you smoke in your home or car, your loved ones – especially children – are at risk of breathing in harmful chemicals, which can lead to serious health problems.
Some people choose to smoke outside to reduce this risk but did you know that second-hand smoke can still linger on your clothes, hair and skin? This means even when you smoke outside you might still expose your loved ones to harmful toxins. Plus, stepping outside for a cigarette means missing out on valuable family moments.
The best way to protect your family’s health and fully enjoy life’s important moments is to quit smoking for good.

The Hidden Dangers of Second-Hand Smoke
When you smoke, you breath in only a small amount of the smoke your cigarette produces. Most of it ends up in the air around you, exposing others to what’s known as passive or second hand smoke.
This smoke is extremely harmful to anyone who breathes it in, as it contains over 4000 toxic chemicals, many of which are linked to serious health problems. 85% of the smoke of it is invisible, so what you see is only the tip of the iceberg.
Second hand smoke can cause:
Children exposed to second-hand smoke are not only at risk of health issues but are also up to four times more likely to become smokers themselves later in life, increasing their chances of developing smoking-related diseases.
Second hand smoke doesn’t just affect people – it’s also been linked to breathing problems and certain cancers in pets too.
