Tobacco is the single largest preventable cause and premature death in the United States. On Guam, tobacco kills at least one person every day. Direct use increases the risk of cancers of the lung, mouth, nasal cavity, larynx, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, colorectal, liver, pancreas, kidney, bladder, cervical, ovary, and myeloid leukemia. Those who do not smoke but are exposed to secondhand smoke have an increased risk for lung cancer.
To protect the health of our patients, visitors, and staff, smoking is prohibited in all areas of the hospital. If you are interested in smoking cessation, ask your health care provider about resources, visit www.quitnow.net/ guam/ or call 1-800-QUIT NOW to be connected to the quitline in your state.
Studies suggest that everyone can quit smoking. Your situation or condition can give you a special reason to quit. Pregnant women/new mothers: By quitting, you protect your baby’s health and your own.
Hospitalized patients: By quitting, you reduce health problems and help healing. Heart attack patients: By quitting, you reduce your risk of a second heart attack.
