Posted Thursday, March 24, 2005 ; 03:52 PM | View Comments | Post Comment

Medicare will cover the cost of counseling for people who want to stop smoking, no matter what your age is.

That announcement comes from government officials.

Studies show seniors who try to quit smoking are fifty percent more likey to succeed than any other age group.

Medicare says there is no estimate on how much the program will cost or how many people are eligible.
