Summer is here, take a breath and inhale
Clean and refreshing, not smoky and stale
Perhaps a new perspective now that you've quit
Stop and smell the roses, some exercise and get fit.
The possibilities are endless, it’s all up to you
Saving money, wow that's new…
Put it in a money bank and see what you can do!!
£49 per week is the average amount saved
That’s over £2,500 a year ...now your amazed!
Getting more compliments? Your skin is all a glow
It's all that oxygen that’s now able to flow
Your outlook is brighter, you feel lighter and able
To cope with life’s up's and downs and your mood is more stable.
You are managing stress in a better way
Instead of lighting that cigarette at the start of every day
Be proud of yourself now you’re at much less risk
Of developing diseases which can be caused by this.
Your longer-term risks of cancer, lung disease, heart disease and stroke
Are significantly reduced now you’ve decided not to smoke!
