Here's a not so fun fact... 67% of non-lactating breast abcesses are the result of smoking. 89% of those are re-occuring and require surgery. Even a decade post quit former smokers are still more likely to develop breast abcesses regardless of age than non-smokers. BUT... quiting reduces the risk. 

 

So, if you need another reason to quit and stay quit... boob abcesses are no fun, not at all, not one bit.. recover is long, surgeries a bitch. 

 

Protect your ta-tas... butt out and NOPE.

 

The sticks are big fans of boobs; please quit to protect them ladies.

That's a pretty good reason to quit or keep the quit for anyone still needing to find one. Thank you for sharing jo and I hope you have a speedy recovery with no recurrence...

Hi Sweetie , Thank you for a great reminder to quit those dam things .

Hugs coming your way 🐸
