Tobacco-You are never too Old to Quit
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Tobacco has been a part of affluent society since centuries, and now this social status has gradually become a stigma. The awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco use has drastically increased in recent decades. Quitting though obstacle by dependence has never been a challenge with a self determination, good counseling and medication. Though the health benefits are greater for people who stop at earlier ages, there are benefits at any age.
