Smoking is very harmful to your heart. It seriously increases your risk of developing heart and circulatory diseases. To keep your heart healthy, you can make small lifestyle changes to help you quit smoking.
The British Heart Foundation have put together a booklet that can help you and your loved ones to make healthier changes to look after your heart health. It contains lots of tips and simple swaps to be more active, eat healthier and more. You'll also find information on where to go for more help and support.
Order or download it for free. It's also available in large print.

🚭Your heart rate and blood pressure will begin to return to normal after 20 minutes.
🚭Your sense of smell and taste will begin to improve after 2-3 days.
🚭Your risk of a heart attack is half that of a smoker after 1 year.
It’s never too late to benefit from stopping smoking. On average, smokers who quit in their 30s will add 10 years to their life. Even quitting at 60 will add 3 years. Being a non-smoker can also improve your chances of being more physically active and healthier as you get older.
