If you are one of those individuals why not make this year the year you leave tobacco behind. In regards to this resolution there is no bad time to start your journey to quitting. Quitting smoking can not only help you start your year off right but also decrease your risk for diseases and conditions caused by smoking. The end result; you are healthier and stronger.
Medications, hotlines, physicians, support groups and even an app on your phone can assist you during the withdrawal from nicotine and help you reach your goal. (Click Here for More Information)

Your risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney and pancreas decreases. Fifteen years of nonsmoking will bring your risk of heart disease back to the same level as someone who doesn't smoke "( CDC, 2004).
