The Manitoba Lung Association is once again running its Manitoba Quits challenge, offering support to people looking to quit smoking or vaping.
Juliette Mucha, President of the Association notes that there is a lot of support for people looking to kick the habit for good.
"The Manitoba Quits Challenge is a free program available virtually for anyone who is ready to take that first step to quit smoking or vaping. We know addictions are very difficult for some, it can be up to 30 times to try that first step, but taking that next step but making that next step is the most important step you can"
Immediate effects of quitting smoking include lower heart rates, better blood-oxygen levels, and an improved sense of taste.
In the first year of quitting, people experience more energy and a substantially lower risk of heart disease.
Quitting is never easy, but doing so can greatly improve your health.
