Bill, a person with diabetes, started smoking at 15, not realizing the problems it would eventually cause him and his family. He didn’t stop smoking until he was almost 40—after having had a leg amputated. In this emotional video from CDC’s _Tips From Former Smokers_ ® ( _Tips_ ® ) campaign, Bill encourages others to quit smoking, too.
