Quit Smoking Health Benefit
 What is the "quit smoking" health benefit? Let me share my story of how it made a huge difference in my
health.Unfortunately, I started smoking at the very tender age of 14. Not parent approved so I didn't
smoke around them. When I married I was free to smoke all I wanted. Sounded good but in the long run turned out not to be a wise
decision.
I tried quitting numerous times, cold turkey and it would last anywhere from 6 mos. to 8 years and I'd fall back into the routine once again.
When I turned 57 my health took a nose dive. My blood pressure zoomed to 199/148, diabetes kicked in and I got a dose of e-coli on top of
everything else.
My doctor told me I HAD to quit smoking, there were no if's ands or buts about it. He prescribed ZYBAN for me. IT WORKED! Within 2 weeks I had
the cigarettes out of my life! I took the full 30 day prescription because it cost me $100.00 and I wasn't going to waste one pill!
It's now been 7 years and I have no desire whatsoever to pick one of those nasty things up. My blood pressure is normal and my diabetes is under
control (no insulin).
