Podcast 545: So You Quit Smoking… Now What?

Author: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • New data shows within 5 years of smoking cessation, the risk of cardiovascular disease becomes half of those who continue to smoke
  • After 10-15 years of cessation, cardiovascular disease rates return to rates seen in non-smokers.
  • Lung disease, COPD, and cancer rates do not decrease quite as rapidly, but do decrease
  • It's important to remind patients of the long-term health benefits associated with smoking cessation when counseling them.
