Located in Clayton, Ohio, Eaton Compressor & Fabrication designs and manufacturers several thousand energy-efficient air compressor units. Beyond the company’s design and manufacturing, Eaton Compressor supports charitable organizations like the American Cancer Society.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) provides a wealth of information on both the treatment and prevention of various kinds of cancer.
As quitting smoking considerably lowers one’s risk of developing cancer, the organization offers tips to current smokers on how to best go about quitting.
According to the ACS, informing family and friends of the decision to quit is a great way to begin the process of kicking the habit, as a person will benefit greatly from support and understanding. Online communities and meeting groups can be of further assistance, while many health plans and employers offer support in the form of counseling.
Medical professionals can also be sought
out for advice on quitting cigarettes. In
some cases a person may benefit from
medication, which may include either
prescriptions or over-the-counter
products. Whatever the case, a
physician should always be consulted
before starting on any sort of medicine.
