Kicking the Cigarette Habit

Willie Nelson sings " mother's don't let your children grow up to be cowboys" --- well, cowboys ( or cowgirls) is better than letting your kids grow up to be smokers. The latest research shows 85 to 90 % of all lung cancers are linked to cigarette smoke. Because there is no reliable, simple and widespread early screening, too often lung cancer is detected when it's progressed beyond treatment. If you are a smoker and trying to kick the habit consider calling the NYS Quitline at 1-866-NY QUITS (1-866-697-8487) from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on weekends.
