🚭 Every Puff Costs You Your Health & Future!

Smoking harms not just you, but also your loved ones—secondhand smoke increases their risk of heart disease by 25-30%. Ci******es contain deadly chemicals like rat poison, car exhaust fumes, and embalming fluid, and can cause many types of cancer beyond just lung cancer.

Instead of spending on smoke, think of what ₱78.58 can buy for your family: nutritious food that nourishes, not poison that kills.

Quit smoking and va**ng now!

Call the DOH Quitline 1558 for free assistance. Choose health, choose life for you and your loved ones. 💙
