COLD TURKEY IS THE BEST WAY TO QUIT CIGARETTES!
Mother Rita used to say "Smoking is a No No' to Ben & Josh, Debbie, Susan, Stevie, Tricia and Robbie Boyd!
Today, while at the Northampton VA I noticed the veteran population with butts in their mouth. Sad.
The implications of smoking today are worse as obesity, high blood pressure, no exercise and nothing to do are truly the Smokers Workshop! At $10.00+ a pack the government wins you lose... screwed to the wall.
QUITTING SMOKING CAN HELP YOU LIVE LONGER. LIVE BETTER.
October 7, 1968. Idlewild Field, NYC. I paid 55 cents for a pack of Winston Cigarettes. In quitting COLD TURKEY I have never had another cigarette in my mouth. My father died of a stroke at age 70; he smoked. Uncle Albert smoked 4 packs of Camels a day, his father smoked Camels. My Grandfather Potvin died of a brain hemorrhage at age 65. It seems none of the women in my life smoked.
The following are categories are shown in a poster from the VA:
SKIN
MOUTH ALL AFFECTED BY BEING A SMOKER
LUNGS
HEART
Skin After 1 day No further damage. At
Mouth After 3-5 days gums may start to recover.
Lungs After 2-12 weeks lung function can increase.
Heart After 2 to 2 weeks circulation may improve. After 10 years lung cancer is half that of a smoker.
