Dr. Angie Brown – Irish Heart Foundation

20th February 2026

As we move through Lent, many people are thinking about what they might give up — and for some, it could be the perfect opportunity to take a life-changing step by giving up smoking. 

Smoking remains one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease and stroke in Ireland, but the good news is that it’s never too late to quit — and the health benefits begin almost immediately. 

Joining us now to talk about the benefits of quitting, the long-term effects of smoking, and how families and even churches can support young people in making healthy choices, is Dr Angie Brown from the Irish Heart Foundation.
