Quitting smoking at 66 to late?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO!!!: It is never too late to stop smoking. Smoking increases risk of many types of cancer, emphysema, heart disease etc. Every single puff you take damages your body further. Some damage is irreversible but benefits of stopping begin within hours & increase over time. See http://whyquit.Com/whyquit/a_benefits_time_table.Html for an excellent timetable of when various benefits of stopping will occur.
