"There are many health benefits," said Sally Herndon, the head of the Tobacco Prevention and Control Branch. "We know now about quitting smoking. It really improves health and increases life expectancy, lowers the risk of 12 different types of cancer, especially lung cancer, which is a very serious and preventable kind of cancer."
