Quitting Smoking

Quitting smoking significantly decreases the risk of developing all six of the following life-shortening conditions:

     1)  Heart Attack
     2)  Stroke
     3) COPD / Emphysema
     4) Lung Cancer and other malignancies of the head and neck
     5) Peripheral Vascular Disease resulting in possible amputation of
         portions  of  the lower extremities .
​     6) Development of a Blood Clot (DVT = Deep Vein Thrombosis)
         in the lower extremity resulting in a Pulmonary Embolism

​         If you smoke, please consult your personal physician, or
      another physician of your choice, to assist you in developing a plan
​      for your permanent cessation of tobacco use.
