My brother had a heart attack last week, at the age of 46....... He has been a habitual smoker since he was 15. Smoking was cited as a major contributor for the heart attack. He is on the mend after having a stent fitted, but is finding, of all the lifestyle changes he must make, that giving up smoking is the hardest by far. He had one yesterday, despite the risks though. It has made me think twice. If ever there was motivation then this surely must be it....
