Tonight I ran into one of our patients at the free clinic who stopped me to especially say they had quit smoking. Only a few weeks ago, I was able to do a pre/post spirometry with them. When I explained per the spirometry printout that their lung age was 68 and in reality they were actually many years younger, it must have made a definite impression. And of course on our wall at the free clinic, we have a poster, "We KICKED BUTT". When someone quits, we ask them to put their first name on the poster. We are accumulating those that have quit smoking, which is a great YAY!! And it is even more interesting when people say how much better they feel.
