Answers:
My grandparents are 87 and 83, and been smoking for over 60 years!. I would hate to see them stop smoking, and then something bad happen because they did!. Stress, and withdrawals at that age is not good!. It is probably better they continue smoking!. If she has been healthy up to this point while smoking, why stop now!? Has anyone been getting on her case about it!? If so, tell them to knock it off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not sure if it will be of much benefit to her now!. She should discuss with her doctor!. I recall hearing a report that chronic smokers who quit in old age statistically died younger than those who continued to smoke!. I will do some reading and let you know!. I quit smoking a year ago, so I know how tough it can be to quit, and I don't advocate it by any means, but if she's lasted this long then she's probably one of the lucky ones!. It might be worth her cutting down a little though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Certainly!. It takes a long time to undo damage!. But it certainly increases her chance of not getting cancer, especially the longer she lives!. Good for her!. There are a lot of people that started smoking when she did (before it was bad) that have given up on quitting!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it'll help a little, but most of the damage is already done!.
smokers accumulate tar in their lungs, which makes it hard to beathe!.!.!. and can cause other diseases!.!.!.!.
