The difficulty people have quitting smoking proves how extremely addictive nicotine is. Fortunately, most withdrawal symptoms disappear and the body begins repairing itself within two weeks of quitting. There are now promising therapies (including drug, behavioral therapies and nicotine replacement) to support those who want to quit.

Don't Be A Chump

Tobacco companies spend billions of dollars to entice adolescents and young adults into smoking. Ads are subtle, featuring sexy young adults having fun while holding cigarettes. These tobacco companies are exploiting you and your generation, trying to sucker you into becoming a lifelong smoker. Don't be a chump! Fight back against the exploitation and don't smoke!
