The dangers smokers face, the dangers from even second hand smoke

in relation to COVID-19 are more compelling reasons to Quit Smoking NOW.

We are in particularly stressful times.  

Smoking/vaping exacerbates stress levels.

When you quit, your stress levels will abate.

 

A smoker's body under stress becomes acidic and dumps nicotine putting you into withdrawal.

This is why I used to smoke furiously when under stress, I couldn't diminish the stress of the withdrawal.

 

Quitting stops all that.  Sure, you still have stress but, not stress compounded with withdrawal

and the skills you learn in quitting will help you deal with normal stress.

Deep breathing, meditation, exercise...

Take care of yourselves.  

Protect your quits

and if you smoke, quit !  We will support you.
