Stopping smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health. On a day to day basis smoking effects your heart and your breathing, and in the long term increases risk to diseases such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.

However, no matter how long you’ve smoked for, quitting can help improve your health straight away and gives your lungs the chance to repair and you will be able to breathe easier.
