To increase your resistance to the flu, as well as many other resperatory illnesses, you should at least cut back your smoking although stopping completely will reap you the most benefit.
For those of you who are not ready to quit remember that smoking will make your flu symptoms worse. If you can stop smoking while you are ill it can greatly improve your recovery time. Another help would be if you can avoid secondhand smoke altogether.
Health insurance rates can increase as much as 40% if you smoke, so you have plenty of financial and well as health incentives to quit. Many health insurance companies like Unicare offer smoking cessation programs as part of their health plans.
