Smokers of Central New York: It's time to set a quit-smoking date. How about June 3?
That's the date the cost of cigarettes go up. You'll be paying an extra $1.25. You can gear yourself up for this date ahead of time. Ask yourself four questions: Do I really want to quit smoking? Am I ready to make some changes in my daily routine? Am I ready to put up with some temporary discomfort? Am I ready to make a healthy choice and stop smoking?
Think of all the resources at your disposal to help you through this important and life-saving step.
