This is another perfect reason to quit smoking! Menopausal women that smoke are more likely to go through hot flashes than their nonsmoking counterparts because of nicotine’s stimulating effects.
When you’re ready to quit, but aren’t sure how to start, call 1-800-QUIT-NOW to get your state’s toll-free “quit line,” which will provide you with some local resources to help you succeed with this challenging task.
You can also visit the Everyday Health Stop Smoking Center. They have some great tips and ideas that can help you kick your bad habit for good.
