It’s Not Too Late to Get The Real Benefits of Stopping Smoking

There is overwhelming evidence that stopping smoking reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, lung disease, cancer and stroke. As diabetes increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, it follows that stopping smoking will reduce the risk of complications from diabetes such as heart disease, a benefits of stopping smoking.
Few studies have evaluated smoking cessation treatment specifically for people with diabetes, however the limited research available suggests that smokers with diabetes may be less successful in quitting than smokers without diabetes and that intensive strategies should be considered to optimize successful cessation.
We can show you how!!!
One of the possible explanations for the lower quitting rates among people with diabetes is the fact that stopping smoking is associated with weight gain and this is likely to be of concern in people who have diabetes and are already overweight.
We can show you how NOT to put on weight!!!
One study found that concerns about weight gain among smokers with type 1 diabetes were particularly prevalent among women, obese smokers, and those with poor metabolic control. Fear of weight gain was cited by 49% of smokers.
We address this issue with great success!!!
In the light of the growing evidence demonstrating that smoking is an independent risk factor for diabetes and that it is also an aggravating factor for diabetes complications, benefits of quitting smoking should be a routine component of diabetic care.
PNEUMONIA is not only more common amongst smokers, but also much more likely to be fatal.

THE BENEFITS OF STOPPING SMOKING is that it reduces the risk of lung cancer, which, like all other cancers, increases steeply with advancing age. When smokers give up, their risk of getting lung cancer starts decreasing so that after 10 years an ex-smoker’s risk is about a third to half that of continuing smokers.
A longitudinal study of British Doctors found that if people stop smoking, even well into middle age, they avoid most of their subsequent risk of lung cancer. Stopping smoking before the age of 30 avoids more than 90% of the risk attributable to smoking.
Pulmonary function is a strong predictor of mortality and smoking reduces pulmonary function. A Finnish study found that a benefit of stopping smoking in middle aged smokers across the entire range of pulmonary function may increase their expection of lifespan by giving up smoking.
So many benefits to STOPPING!!!
