Exercise is a great alternative to smoking, but finding time to work out can be challenging. Make the most of just 10 minutes with a quick walk during your lunch break or by stretching after a long meeting.

When you quit smoking it reduces the risk for many adverse health effects, including poor reproductive health outcomes, cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancer. Though it will be challenging but you have to do it! #stopsmoking #quitsmoking

Interesting Read! Nicotine can be physically addictive, but also psychologically addictive, so hopefully the right steps forward are happening!

Why the FDA's plan to limit nicotine in cigarettes is so important: "Nicotine is the addictive element in a cigarette.... For all the industry’s insistence that cigarettes are an emblem of individuality, nearly 70% of adults who smoke would prefer not to." nytimes.com/2022/07/06/opi…
