things you can do to reduce your risk of cancer. Tobacco smoke contains more than 7000 chemicals, including 69 carcinogens (chemicals known to cause cancer).</p> <p>There are immediate health benefits as soon as you quit smoking, even if you already suffer health problems.</p> <h3>Reasons to quit</h3> <p>There are so many reasons to quit smoking. Almost straight away your health will start to improve and your risk of cancer and other diseases will reduce. Quitting smoking improves the health of those around you by reducing second-hand smoke and you’ll also save money.</p> <p>Many smokers need to practice quitting several times before they give up for good.

After 5 minutes, the urge to smoke weakens.</li> <li><strong>Deep</strong> breathe in and out slowly, repeat three times.</li> <li><strong>Drink </strong>water, sipping slowly, holding it in the mouth a little longer to savour the taste.</li> <li><strong>Do</strong> something else. Listen to music, exercise or talk to a friend.
