Smoking

Stopping smoking is one of the most powerful things you can do for your health; it brings benefits at any stage of life. Smoking affects far more than the lungs. It can reduce bone density, slow healing, increase the risk of serious health conditions such as heart disease and cancer, and may contribute to increased pain and inflammation.

Quitting can be challenging, but getting the right support can make a huge difference. There are local services that offer free, friendly help - whether you want to stop completely, cut down gradually, or get more advice.
