Quit smoking

Cigarette smoke contains compounds that are known to harm lung tissue and raise the risk of cancer. According to a study from 2016, smoking can also lower your immune response. Smokers are more likely to develop respiratory conditions like pneumonia, the flu, and bronchitis. Consider quitting or cutting back on smoking to enhance the health of your immune system. There are various methods to stop smoking, including nicotine gum or patches. Therapy or support groups might be beneficial for some people as well. You might also consider prescription drugs with your doctor in order to lessen your cigarette cravings.

You can cut down by:

• Slowly increase the time between cigarettes
• Reduce the number of cigarettes in your packet each day
• Avoid situations that will trigger a desire to smoke
• Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)
