Cutting Down Won't Cut It!


It's no secret that quitting smoking is tough. But if you think that cutting down on the number of cigarettes you smoke each day is enough to improve your health, you're wrong. A 20-year study of more than 50,000 people in Norway recently revealed that patients who smoked fewer cigarettes-even those who cut back as much as half-were just as likely as heavy smokers to suffer early death from cardiovascular disease, cancer and other tobacco-related causes.

I wish my boyfriend would quit smoking. But I think he's married to nicotine. lol. He's manic depressive and I'd kinda have to lock myself away if he quit, hehe.
