Smoking Cessation: You Don't Have to Gain a Lot of Weight

Smoking is not only the major cause of lung cancer in America, but also contributes to causing cancer of the tongue, larynx (upper airway), throat, pancreas (which can be devastating), kidneys, bladder and cervix. The heart, lung and blood vessels are also damaged by smoking. Despite all the information available on smoking, many young and older people continue to maintain this horrible practice. Actually, the majority of older smokers desire to quit but feel they can't.
