Seniors and Tobacco
It’s Never Too Late to Quit! Giving up smoking can be one of the most difficult, yet rewarding lifestyle changes to make. Many long-term smokers may have been smoking for decades, starting when it was fashionable and when people were less aware of the harmful effects smoking can have on their health.
