I hope to encourage, challenge and educate this group on the dangers of tobacco and the benefits to their lives if they were to quit.

Two to three weeks after quitting your circulation improves and your lung function increases. One to nine months after coughing and shortness of breath decrease. One year after your risk for coronary heart disease is cut in half (Cancer,
