    The sooner you quit smoking, the better. It is never too late to quit smoking. Smokers quit smoking as soon as possible. It is not too late to quit smoking at any time. As long as you have the motivation to quit smoking and master certain skills, you can quit smoking completely. If you quit smoking before the age of 35, the chance of heart disease caused by smoking can be reduced by 90%. If you quit smoking before the age of 59, the probability of dying within 15 years is only half of that of continuing smokers. Even if you quit smoking after the age of 60, the mortality rate of lung cancer is still very large. Lower than continuing smokers.
