Bill started smoking as a teenager—and ignored his doctor’s warning that smoking could make his diabetes much worse. In this emotional video from CDC’s _Tips From Former Smokers_ ® ( _Tips_ ® ) campaign, Bill explains how much his life changed. He quit smoking before he turned 40, but not before losing a leg, kidney function, and the sight in one eye. Bill died from heart disease at age 42.
