It’s hard to believe another school year has begun. This can be a stressful time filled with the uncertainties of an upcoming school year. One way to have a great school year is to take care of yourself and your children. How about quitting smoking? Smoking cigarettes suppresses a persons’ immune system. This makes it difficult for the body to fight off infections or viruses like the flu or common cold. Quitting smoking now will greatly reduce the likelihood of an illness in both you and your children.
A simple call to Quitline Iowa at 1-800- QUIT-NOW will get you the information you need at no cost and will guide you on your way to a healthy lifestyle. People need to take their own approach, but coming up with a plan, working with a coach, and taking advantage of nicotine replacement medication can increase your success rate significantly.
