What's
Slowing
You Down?

Your age
Or your smoking?

A recent poll of American Association of Retired Persons memebers fifty and over showed that smokers have more trouble breathing, more coughing, get tired more easily and were more likely to report health problems than nonsmokers.

If you've had any of the problems on the list, you may be suffering the ills of smoking, not the effects of age!
"I don't belive in aging. I believe in forever altering one's aspect towards the sun." -Virginia Woolf
