When you smoke it damages your immune system, reducing your body’s defence against infections.
Smokers are therefore at greater risk of:
- getting serious respiratory infections
- infections lasting longer and being more serious than a non-smoker
It’s never too later to quit smoking, your body starts to repair from the moment you stop smoking.
Life Live Better Derbyshire provide free support to people aged over 12 years old who want to stop smoking. You are three times more likely to stop smoking when supported by the service and use a stop smoking product. The support is free and flexible. Contact the friendly team to find out more.
