At any age there are many reasons to stop smoking. Some of the benefi ts for older peo ple include: • Reduced risk of cancer and lung dis ease. • Healthier heart and lungs. • Improved blood circulation • Better health for nonsmoking family members, particularly children Smoking doesn’t just cut a few years off the end of each smoker’s life - it prematurely kills thousands of people and seriously dis ables millions of others. There are many ways to stop smoking. No single method works for ev ery one, so each person must try to fi nd what works best. Many people stop on their own, and others need help from doctors, clin ics or or ga nized groups. Some studies have found that older people who take part in programs to stoop smoking have higher success rates than younger ones do. Source: NIA Age Page
