According to a study made in Washington, all three groups, the previous smokers, current smokers and non smokers, of more than 2,000 seniors were compared to show a link between smoking and the speed at which participants walked .Previous smokers easily outpaced current smokers in physical activity, suggesting that giving up such bad habits can positively impact a senior’s health later in life.
Eliminating bad habits such as poor food choices and lack of exercise - which can lead to weight gain or poor muscle condition - has been an ongoing struggle for seniors. According to Alison Moore, member of American Geriatrics Society (AGS), the most important part of successfully changing bad habits is to go into the transformation with a positive attitude.
So, I hope most, if not all, smokers can quit on cigarettes early.

Hi everybody, welcome to the forum. Smoking is injurious to health. It is very hard to give up smoking, but you have to stop. Make your self engaged with some work, and stop thinking about cigars.

This problem goes far deeper than that. Here in the states much of our workforce is made up of desk jobs. A lot of our culture and daily lives revolves around convienience, things like fast food, supercenters where we can buy all of our goods and groceries in one place, and recreational activites that don't involve exercise (video games, the internet, movies, television, etc). So many Americans live very sedentary lifestyles. It isn't just smoking that is the problem, although smoking is certainly a factor.
