Stop Smoking (Smoking cessation) means “to quit
smoking,” or “withdrawal from nicotine.” Because smoking is
highly addictive, quitting the habit often involves irritability,
headache, mood swings, and cravings associated with the sudden
cessation or reduction of tobacco use by a nicotine-dependent
individual.
Stop
smoking is one of the best things a person can do to increase
their life expectancy. On average, male smokers who quit at 35 years
old can be expected to live to be 76 years old instead of 69 years if
they were still smoking. Women who quit would live to be 80 years old
instead of 74 years.
