New Year's is by far the biggest quitting day of the year, but how?

Nicotine quickly hijacks brain dopamine pathways, assigning nicotine use the same priority as eating food. Recovery is a temporary journey of re-adjustment where use ends and we allow our brain the time needed to restore natural sensitivities.

While quitting sounds simple, half of smokers end up smoking themselves to death, losing an average of 13 to 14 years of life (male and female rates respectively). It wasn't that the 6 million who smoked themselves to death this year didn't want to quit. It was that they didn't know how.

Knowledge truly is power. If these tips aid you, please, please share them with smoking friends and loved ones. Together, just one smoker at a time, we are making a difference.
