Another Reason to Kick Butt

Wake Forest researchers have announced compelling new evidence that smoking may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

The Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (IRAS) found that twenty-five percent of study participants who smoked and did not have diabetes when the study began had developed diabetes by the five-year follow-up. Both smoking and diabetes are strongly associated with heart disease, yet another reason to kick the habit.
