Quitting smoking helps more than your lungs and heart - your mouth benefits too. Within about a year of quitting, the risk of gum disease starts to drop and your body responds better to treatment.

Quitting smoking lowers colorectal cancer risk. Screening helps detect it early. Both steps can make a difference for your health.

It’s not too late. After your last cigarette, your heart begins to recover. #HeartHealth #Quitsmoking

@ChaunceyGardner @HCS_GovNL @NL_HealthServ @SmokersHelpNL @NLSchoolsCA @_nlma @NLPHA_PubHealth @HeartandStroke @cancersociety Our Province here in Canada has a vaping rate of 27% among kids in grades 7-12. 58% of our teenagers in grades 10-12 have tried vaping. It's an epidemic. Is alcohol an issue as well? Most likely, but that doesn't change the vaping problem.

@actnl @HCS_GovNL @NL_HealthServ @SmokersHelpNL @NLSchoolsCA @_nlma @NLPHA_PubHealth @HeartandStroke @cancersociety If teens are being "targeted," the vape industry isn't very good at that. Looks like the alcohol industry is though.

May 31, 2024 is World No Tobacco Day. Children and youth are still being targeted by vaping companies to become the next generation of customers and nicotine users. Get the facts and talk to youth about the risks of vaping. truthaboutvaping.ca who.int/campaigns/worl…
