According to 2009 statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cigarette smoking accounts for over 400,000 deaths a year in the United States. Smoking leads to a variety of health conditions, including heart disease, vascular disease and lung cancer. Given the wide range of negative health effects caused by smoking, quitting can lengthen your lifespan significantly. According to the Stop Smoking Center website, one day after smoking cessation, the risks of heart attack and stroke decrease. The longer you are an ex-smoker, the more time you'll add to your life. Nicoban is an alternative, nicotine-free way to help you quit smoking.
