Quitting smoking: Dealing with weight gain
Tobacco
use, especially smoking, is the number-one preventable cause of death and disease in the United States.
One out of two people who smoke will die early because of their habit.
Everyone who uses tobacco would benefit from quitting. The earlier you quit using tobacco, the greater your chance of reversing the risk of tobacco-related diseases. When you quit smoking—no matter how old you are—you’ll decrease your risk of:
- Heart attack and stroke
- Lung cancer and other lung diseases
- Impotence and fertility problems
- Gum disease
In addition, quitting smoking reduces health risks for your family caused by secondhand smoke.
