If one of your New Year’s Resolutions is to quit smoking, ProMedica offers numerous programs and resources to help. This includes counseling to understand nicotine addiction, education about medications that can help you successfully quit smoking, and assistance with developing a plan to quit.

Did you know that … ?

   • Twenty minutes after your last cigarette, your blood pressure and pulse rate drop.

   • After one day of not smoking, your risk of a heart attack drops.

   • Approximately two weeks after you quit smoking, circulation improves and your lungs perform
     up to 30% better.

   • After not smoking for five years, your risk of stroke is reduced to that of a nonsmoker.
