Experts have shared their top tips to quit smoking this January.
Smoking remains one of the biggest causes of death and illness in the UK. It not only increases your risk of developing dozens of serious health conditions, some of which can be fatal, but it can also harm those around you.
The NHS states smoking causes around seven out of 10 cases of lung cancer, but also causes cancer in many other parts of the body including the mouth, throat, voice box, bladder, bowel, cervix, kidney, liver and stomach. It also damages your heart and blood circulation which can lead to heart attacks, strokes, heart disease and damaged blood vessels and arteries.
