Stop SmokingSmoking damages your lungs'
natural cleaning and repair
system and traps
cancer-causing chemicals in
your lungs. Smoking destroys
the tiny hairs (cilia), which
line the upper airways and
protect against infection.
Normally, there is a thin
layer of mucous and thousands
of these cilia lining the
insides of your breathing
tubes. The mucous traps the
little bits of dirt and
pollution you breathe in, and
the cilia move together like a
wave to push the dirt-filled
mucous out of your lungs. Then
you cough, swallow, or spit up
the mucous, and the dirt is
out of your lungs. Our Stop
Smoking patches and pills will
help you to quit smoking. |
