Macular Degeneration & Smoking


12 years ago 0 1853 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Members,

In a study at Queen’s University, a link has been established between smoking and macular degeneration. Macular degeneration is known to cause blindness in the older adult.

Smoking has also been linked to other forms of illness…
•    Colorectal, pancreatic, lung and other forms of cancer
•    Diabetes
•    Hypertension, heart disease, heart attack, stroke and peripheral vascular disease

And much more! Aren’t you glad you quit?
