Hi Ellie,

Happy 50th Birthday. Turning 50 is a milestone in your life, and its great that you've decided to not smoke at this point in your life. At this point, it sounds like you're starting to feal the benefits of not smoking. What kind of improvements took place in your parent's lives when they stop smoking?

Keep going, posting and using the program to help you on this journey.

It Fell From the Sky !!!!!

Members,

Its true, we can think about the situation or the circumstance and make ourselves believe it played a greater part than it did. But , there's a lot of power and strength inside each person. If you do relapse, examine the situation. What were the triggers and what can you do better the next time?

Preventable threats

Members,

The article “Men’s health: Preventing your top 10 threats” (2009), by the Mayo staff clinic, reports that threats to men’s health are mostly preventable. Number one of the list is heart disease, and the list of suggestions includes not smoking, physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight and drinking in moderation. Number two is lung cancer, and of course, not smoking and using tobacco products, along with avoiding second smoke is recommended. In the other preventable threats, not smoking and exercising is a repeated suggestion.

Members, you’re all improving your life in some way, shape or form. Through your journey, have you considered your overall health? Is your overall well being important to you or are you content with focusing on the problem you are currently tackling.

Furthermore, how capable do you feel in preventing disease?

Myth or Fact?

Myth: Smoking is just a bad habit.

Fact: Tobacco use is an addiction. According to the U.S. Public Health Service Clinical Practice Guideline, Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence, nicotine is a very addictive drug. For some people, it can be as addictive as heroin or cocaine.
