Despite overwhelming evidence that smoking is the most preventable cause of death in the United States, over 49 million Americans are smokers. Research shows that 26 million men and 22 million women over the age of 18 are cigarette smokers, putting them at risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, and chronic lung disease. In fact, one out of every 5 deaths is due to smoking-related disease. And, 2.2 million adolescents, ages 12-17, smoke, with 3,000 starting each day. Benefits If you quit before age 50, you'll have 1/2 the risk of death before age 65 compared to smokers.  The risk of lung cancer is reduced 50-70% after 10 years.  The risk of bladder cancer is the dame as non-smokers in 7 years.  The risk of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is reduced by 50% after just one year and declines each year thereafter.  In 15 years, the risk of CHD is no different than for those who NEVER smoked.  The risk of ulcers and respiratory infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia decreases.  Babies born to mothers who quit smoking have similar births weights to those born to mothers who never smoked.
