Quit Today!

Cigarett Butt

Did you know that exposing your child to cigarette smoke could cause cavities or delay development of their permanent teeth? Or that chewing tobacco can cause oral cancer? If you quit smoking or using tobacco, you will also reduce your risk for cavities, gum diseases, tooth loss, emphysema, all cancers, and heart attack and stroke.

Tobacco users actually cost others, as well. Second-hand smoke is harmful and health care costs families and governments. Every cigar or cigarette represents hard-earned money going up in smoke... and along with it, opportunities for other pleasures and experiences.

Nicotine is very addictive but you can kick it... and you'll smell great, look younger, and smile more too! And you won't be the only one to benefit: most smokers start very young, so you can set a great example.
