If your New Year’s resolution is to quit smoking, you are not alone. It’s a popular goal and you can succeed.
People who stop smoking can greatly reduce their risk for disease and early death. The younger you are when you quit, the better your chances of avoiding health problems.
Planning ahead can help make your healthy resolution a reality. Aroostook County Action Program Tobacco Specialists, have resources to help you quit.
