I don't believe I've ever come across another article that referred to cigarettes as "escalator of death" and for that reason alone - have to highly recommend this short read. This is a delightful little editorial published last week in the Addiction journal Society for the Study of Addiction , and the publication well-timed for those who are quitting smoking for the New Year. I like the translation of benefits for patients translated into health gains, and this one focuses on longevity but also the quality of that life by reducing risk of chronic disease. #smokingcessation #lifestylemedicine #reducerisk #harmreduction #addictionmedicine https://lnkd.in/eTCXafYa
