Benefits of Smoking Cessation Smoking cessation has major and immediate health benefits for men and women of all ages. The earlier you quit, the greater the benefits. Quitting smoking before age 50 reduces the risk of dying over the next 15 years by half, when compared with those who continue to smoke. One year after quitting smoking, the risk of dying from coronary heart disease is reduced by half and continues to decline over time. It is also important to remember that qui...tting smoking will also benefit those around you since exposure to secondhand smoke is harmful. Beyond the health-related reasons for stopping smoking, there are added advantages such as saving money, not smelling of cigarette smoke and breaking free from nicotine dependence.
