Today's Top Story: Why Quit Smoking?
http://health.webmd.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/e3sZ0Nec4j0GG0BZQu0EJ
Smokers know they should quit, but denial makes it easy to ignore the
risks - lung cancer, heart disease, early death ... But quitting
decreases those risks. Isn't it time to quit?

EDITOR'S PICKS

Don't Be Afraid of Nicotine Withdrawal
http://health.webmd.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/e3sZ0Nec4j0GG0BZQs0EH
It happens - craving for a smoke, increased appetite, mood swings -
but you and your doctor can control it through behavior modification
and medication. Once you've decided to quit, stick with it. Withdrawal
is not permanent.
