Smoking cigarettes is a well-established cause of various serious health issues, including lung cancer, heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and stroke. Vaping is not risk-free either, and there have been concerns about its impact on lung health.

 Join staff from Student Health and Wellness October 3rd from 12pm to 2pm outside the Main Cafeteria where we'll be sharing information and resources so you can make informed choices about your health and well-being, explore alternative stress-relief techniques, and work on adopting healthier habits to replace smoking and vaping.

 Let's make a positive step for your health and well-being; it's time to quit!

Remember that quitting nicotine and vaping is a process, and it may take time and multiple attempts to succeed. Be patient with yourself and don't be discouraged by setbacks. If you find that you're struggling significantly, consider seeking professional help, counseling, or guidance from healthcare providers to increase your chances of quitting successfully.

It can often be a challenge to take a minute to ourselves, so why not make self-care a habit and Take10.
