Gobbling up the miles...Naval Hospital Bremerton staff participate in the Cold Turkey Trot, Nov. 17, 2022, held in conjunction with the Great American Smokeout, the annual campaign held every third Thursday of November to encourage those who use tobacco products to quit for just that day. The American Cancer Society notes that tobacco use prevents a person from reaching peak physical performance. According to Pat Graves, NHB Tobacco Cessation Program coordinator, those who simply make the commit to quit for just one day commence a journey more important than the destination. On that first day, their body already has begun to heal from the harmful effects of tobacco use. A little further down the road, by day 14, a smoker's lungs are working better. By day 60, a person who has continued the process will noticed their gums, teeth and skin are all looking - and feeling - better. By day 75, just two and half months, a person who quit the spit, vetoed the vape, butted out, will find themselves with more energy and less congestion.
