Greetings fellow NOPErs...today's shout out comes from the calendar of the UN... to day is World Pneumonia Day, did you know that influenza is responsible for 16% of global deaths for children under 5...which makes it the single largest infectious cause of death in children. Pretty staggering considering it can be prevented by immunisation, adequate diet, and environmental and hygiene issue improvements. Did you know pneumonia can be bacterial, viral or fungal. Bacterial pneumonia can be easily treated with antibiotics but only 1/3 of children infected receive antibiotic treatment.... Pneumonia is also a big killer of the elderly but sadly it can be added to the plight of the smoker as well... an easy way of reducing your susceptibility to pneumonia and improving your lung health is to quit... so every one of us in the NOPE is helping to reduce pneumonia cases world wide.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
