Dr. Parker, I amost missed it also.
I agree, that if you wanted to get healthy and smoke, quitting is priority #1

Thanks for the reminder, Dr. Hubbard. I don’t seem to see as much about the SmokeOut as I did in the past.

For anyone wanting to improve his or her health and longevity, quitting smoking is perhaps the single most important step.

And think of the money saved. A pack must be $4-5 now, more in some states.

Happy birthday, Dr. J!

Today is also my birthday! I like that it’s also the smokeout day! I think every doctor feels that smoking is the number 1 preventable cause of disease and death.

Thanks for posting this!
