For those who want to quit smoking

Smoking cessation reduces the risk of getting sick for smokers and those around them. If it is difficult to quit smoking alone, you can also get smoking cessation support from medical institutions, pharmacies, and ward offices. If you smoke, please try smoking cessation.

Benefits of smoking cessation

Smoking cessation reduces the risk of lifestyle-related diseases and lung disease. You can also use floating money, such as traveling or purchasing a new car, for various fun.

After smoking cessation, cough and physical weakness improves in a few months after smoking cessation. After 10 years, the risk of developing a disease is at the level of nonsmokers.
