"Thinking about quitting? Know someone who needs to? News for you... University of Kentucky researchers say that women who smoke are more likely to experience chronic pain of all kinds--fibromyalgia, sciatica, chronic neck pain, chronic back pain, joint pain, chronic head pain, nerve problems, and pain all over the body. According to the report: Women who smoke, or who were former smokers, have a greater chance of reporting at least one chronic pain syndrome in comparison to nonsmokers. Former smokers show a 20 percent increase, occasional smokers showed a 68 percent increase, and in daily smokers the odds more than doubled (104 percent). That adds up to a lot of pain! It doesn&amp;#x27;t surprise me at all that smoking leads to chronic pain. Cigarettes are toxic and poisonous--of course they&amp;#x27;ll make your body hurt. Do you need to quit? Know someone who does? P.S. The scary truth about how even a little smoke can damage your cells. And, the country where smoking is illegal--even in your home.
