Why Quit Smoking?

Smoking is the single most avoidable cause of death. On a global scale, the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that tobacco kills one person every 10 seconds. Smoking causes cancer and is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, stroke and chronic obstructive lung disease. Together, they account for close to two-thirds of all deaths in Singapore in the year 2000. A decline in smoking prevalence will significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality from these diseases.

A concerted effort to encourage smokers to quit and to discourage non-smokers from picking up the habit is vital to the health of the nation. Find out how the SDetox Smoking Control Programme helps to achieve these aims.

Why Quit?

Smoking is the largest cause of preventable death in the world.

In Singapore:

About 7 Singaporeans die prematurely from smoking-related diseases each day.

Smoking related diseases, including cancer, heart disease, stroke and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), also known as Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (COLD), are the nation’s top killers.

The social cost of smoking is between $700 million and $800 million in 1997.

Tobacco takes an enormous toll in healthcare costs, kills people at the height of their productivity, deprive families of breadwinners and most of all, causes a great deal of pain and suffering for smokers, passive smokers and their families.

For these reasons, we encourage you to learn as much as you can about smoking and to share your knowledge with your loved ones.

Remember, it’s best to never start smoking. If you do smoke, it’s never too late to give up!
