Remember the television campaign ‘Every Cigarette is Doing You Damage’? The vision of fat being squeezed out of aortas, and tar oozing out of lungs was a very real and confronting image of what smoking actually does to our bodies.
The good news is that there are health benefits of quitting for all smokers, regardless of age, gender or length of time that they have been smoking.
Matt put his own questions on this to Dr Torquil Duncan-Brown from Elmwood Medical Centre in Wodonga.
