Quit Smoking Today
Quitting smoking isn't easy. But with help, you and your friends or family can succeed. Once you quit, you reduce your risk of lung and other cancers, heart attack, stroke, and diseases that cause breathing problems, such as emphysema. Tobacco use causes many cancer deaths. For that reason, the National Cancer Institute supports research, shares research results, and offers resources to prevent, treat, and reduce tobacco use. We invite you to explore, use, and share some of our resources and research.
Policy Update from the NCI Cancer Bulletin: Each day more than 4,000 children smoke their first cigarette. To combat this problem, the FDA banned cigarettes that taste like candy and fruit.
