Tobacco Cessation Referral Program

Smoking and vaping are leading causes of lung cancer and other serious health conditions. Quitting can dramatically reduce these risks. According to the American Cancer Society, the positive results start almost immediately. Within 20 minutes of your last cigarette, your heart rate and blood pressure drop. Within a few days, the carbon monoxide level in your blood returns to normal, and within weeks, your circulation and lung function begin to improve. Over time, your risk of developing heart disease, stroke and cancer also decreases.

Whether you've been a long-time smoker or just started vaping, stopping now reduces your health risk. There are benefits to those around you as well. Your decision to quit reduces your loved one’s exposure to harmful secondhand smoke.

Quitting smoking or vaping is one of the most impactful decisions you can make for your health. If you’re ready to quit, Skagit Regional Health’s Cancer Care Center can help.
