Another reason to quit smoking now. When you get older, and especially if you’re a man, you could come down with a horrible affliction known as Abdomen Aortic Aneurysm. In fact, you are 8 times as likely to get this condition if you smoke.
It generally hits between the ages of 60 and 80 as it is very slow in developing. Once the aneurysm grows to its full potential, it becomes an emergency. Ask your doctor about this ailment (AAA) if you’re a smoker.
