🚭 Did you know minorities with mental illness smoke at higher rates? This worsens anxiety, depression, and stress, making recovery even tougher.

🩺 Men’s Health Awareness: Quit To***co for the Ones Who Matter Most 💙

As Father’s Day approaches, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the vital role men play in our lives — as fathers, brothers, friends, and role models. Taking care of your health means more than just you; it’s about being there for your family and loved ones for years to come.

Did you know to***co use remains one of the leading causes of preventable illness and death among men? Smoking increases the risk of heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, and respiratory conditions — all of which can take a toll on your strength and vitality.

But here’s the good news: Quitting to***co dramatically improves your health at any age. Within weeks of quitting, your heart and lungs begin to heal, your energy improves, and you reduce your risk of chronic diseases.

This Father’s Day, give yourself and your family the gift of health. If you or a loved one uses to***co, now is the time to take that step toward quitting. Your future self — and your family — will thank you.

Need help quitting? Resources and support are waiting for you. Let’s make this Father’s Day a fresh start for better health.
