Thanks Kevin and Jim. I enjoyed reading the article. There is always room for another reason not to smoke.

I found this particularly helpful. I commented again this weekend to my husband how the only dissappointment from quiting was my circulation had not gotten better. I imagine that I damaged my microcirruclation beyond repair. I had never heard of this before. It is always easier to accept knowing why something may or may not be.

Thanks, Jim! Cool

Thanks, Jim. My doctor had told me the same thing when I had a bone density test and, yes, I am pre-osteoporosis. However, the density has improved greatly since I quit and, of course, with the aid of a prescription. Actually, I'm only taking 50% of the prescription as initially prescribed and am hoping to be able to quit it altogether this summer when I have another bone density test.

Quitting does amazing things for our health!

Great Information!!
Bone-density and osteoporosis were a concern for me as a smoker - now - my bone density tests are at the high end of the scales - but I also now take a calcium supplement and do weight bearing exercise at least three times a week.... it is never to late to make positive changes - at least we aren't making things worse by smoking!

Thanks for the info Jim - and thanks for fixing the link Kevin - it worked fine for me!
