Effects and Tips of Non-Smoking

I'm going to stop smoking.

 Smoking cessation causes withdrawal symptoms (irritability, weight gain, etc.), but many of them always subside over time. There are a lot of tips on smoking cessation that can be done from today! Specifically, please see handbill "Do you not start graduation smoke?" (PDF: 1,303KB).

The pitfalls of the new tobacco-It's harmful even if smoke doesn't come out~

 The scientific knowledge of new tobacco (electronic tobacco, heated tobacco) is often unknown. However, it has been found that changing from paper tobacco to heated tobacco does not change the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. In recent years, the number of smokers who use both paper and new tobacco (dual users) has increased. Let's try to update the correct knowledge and think about smoking and smoking cessation.
Specifically, please see handbill "pitfall of new tobacco" (PDF: 804KB).

Tobacco and sleep

 Smokers have been found to have worse sleep quality than non-smokers, such as shorter sleep time, longer time to lie down and sleep, drowsiness during the day, and difficulty maintaining sleep. . Reduced sleep quality increases the risk of lifestyle-related diseases and depression. Why don't you consider smoking cessation to get a better sleep?

\POINT/ of everyday life for good sleep
・Previous items (tobacco, caffeine, nicotine, etc.)
 Nicotine contained in tobacco makes you fall asleep and makes you sleep shallower.
・I wake up at the same time every morning, bathe in the morning sun, and reset my body clock.
・Have breakfast and wake up
・Light exercise, walk
・After getting sleepy, go to bed
・Don't look at computers, smartphones, etc. before going to sleep
