How to quit.

This 2018 study, published in the British Medical Journal shows that people trying to quit smoking will be much more successful if they use  Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking rather than the Irish Government initiative Quit.ie

Cancer Ireland Editor’s note:
I have no association with Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Stop Smoking, but I’m happy to promote this method because I found it to be extremely helpful and effective in helping me to quit smoking after 30 years.

If you quit smoking right now…

• After 5 years: Your risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and bladder are cut in half. Your risk of cervical cancer and stroke return to normal after 5 years.
• After 10 years: You are half as likely to die from lung cancer. Your risk of larynx or pancreatic cancer decreases.
