While many know of the major diseases that smoking causes, there are known "silent killers" that can worsen over time and eventually reach a point of no return. These include: heart disease, stroke risk, COPD, weakened immune system, tuberculosis, and eye diseases. For you and your loved ones, put down the smokes before they put you down. Talk to your physician to see if you qualify for insurance to cover nicotine replacement therapy treatments.
