Just spoke to a mom and dad of a Capitol police officer who said they traveled from upstate New York to DC to be able to give their son a hug when he finishes his shift tonight -- this time last year they didn't know if he was alive or not.
Within 2-4 years of quitting, your risk of stroke drops to that of someone who never smoked. Make 2022 the first of many great smoke-free years. https://t.co/fQAdE23m07
