Motivated smokers can help themselves to quit smoking by starting an exercise program such as running or walking. Very few avid runners smoke [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but there are many runners who are former smokers. Adding a running or other exercise program to a program for quitting smoking can help a smoker quit smoking.
Running and walking are the simplest exercise programs to start and maintain, but any good aerobic exercise that moves major muscle groups will improve health and fitness. Those who do not care for running or walking might find bicycling or swimming more enjoyable ways to reap the benefits of exercise.
The addictive power of tobacco is well documented elsewhere. Though not quite impossible, it is extremely difficult for smokers to quit smoking. The threat of increased health insurance premiums may motivate some smokers to want to quit, but it is still extremely difficult to break the smoking addiction.
In the fall of 2009 the North Carolina state employees' health insurance plan announced that it would increase health insurance costs for employees who either smoked or were obese, by limiting their access to the better health care plans. If this action becomes a trend for health insurance companies across the United States, many millions of Americans will face steeply rising increases in their health care costs.
Starting Walking or Running
Smokers and overweight or obese people who face the possibility of increased health care insurance premiums can avoid higher health care costs by starting to walk or run. Quitting smoking and losing weight will both improve health and lower health care costs.
Running and walking both burn calories. Regular running or walking will over time burn a significant number of calories. These exercise programs [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when combined with a sensible healthy weight loss diet will help overweight and obese people lose weight gradually but permanently.
After walking becomes comfortable, gradually start running short distances. Increase the running distance slowly until running also becomes comfortable. If walking is enjoyable and running is not, continue walking without running. Walking provides the same benefits as running and is easier on the joints. Walking just takes longer than running.
First get a physical exam and a physician's approval to start an exercise program. Make sure there are no undiscovered health problems that would contraindicate vigorous exercise.

Quit Smoking and Lose Weight at the Same Time
Don't start a running program by running. Put on a comfortable pair of walking shoes and begin walking. Start walking whatever distance or time feels comfortable. Then gradually increase the distance walked. Do not increase the walking distance or speed every day. Increase slowly. Never increase the weekly total distance by more than 10 percent a week. A good first goal is working up to 10,000 steps a day.
The best solution for smokers or obese people facing these increased costs is to walk or run away from them by starting a consistent exercise program.
