Quit Smoking

More than a third of 35- to 44-year-old women who have a stroke are smokers. Along with managing your blood pressure, stamping out your cigarette habit is one of the best things you can do to prevent a future stroke.

If you need help to quit, go to smokefree.gov or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669).
