What do you advise for heart disease history and smoking cigarettes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop smoking: The best thing to do is quit smoking. There are many therapies and methods that can result in successful, long-term abstinence. The first step is to speak with your doctor, discuss the options, and become accountable to a "quit" date to stop smoking. It's not always easy, but 40 years old is too young to take chances, and something can still be done. Get help to quit smoking.
