Last year, the United States Preventive Services Task Force, an influential panel of national medical experts, recommended that older, longtime smokers be screened annually for lung cancer — the leading cancer killer in the United States, with almost 160,000 deaths yearly — for early detection. The recommendation was supported by the American Cancer Society and the American Lung Association. Now, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has approved a proposal to cover the cost of lung cancer screening for a specific group of Medicare recipients ages 55-77 who had smoked for 30 pack years.

Smoking can also effect your sex life



Smoking definitely has a negative impact on your sexual performance. For years, studies have shown that smoking cigarettes causes erectile dysfunction due to poor blood flow to the penis. Not only does smoking cause impotence, but the severity of the problem is directly correlated with the number of cigarettes smoked.
