In my last few entries on this website I strongly recommended agressive lifestyle modifications.This I can’t state strong enough,if you smoke you should stop,if you don’t smoke, please don’t start.Again, it’s amazing to me with all the information out there about the horrible health consequences of breathing in cigarette smoke 1.4 million Americans start smoking each year (half under the age of eighteen).We all understand the link between smoking and cancer, but smoking doubles or triples your risk of developing cornary artery disease,according to the American Heart Association.Let me help you help yourself,there are a number of effective treatments now avaliable, such as nicotine patches, gum or other nicotine replacement products, counseling,behavior modification thearpies, and medication. If you have any doupt on whether you should quit, think about the long and painful death of cancer or how your family will feel when you are know longer around to share precious memories with them.
