I just finished watching a very informative and interesting Dr. G special titled "Dr. G's How Not to Die". As you may know Jan C. Garavaglia, M.D., (aka "Dr. G") is the chief medical examiner for the District Nine (Orange-Osceola) Medical Examiner's Office in Florida.

In a nutshell, this special revealed what she in her experienced has determined as the Top 5 Killers of those she has come in contact with by performing autopsies on. Here is her list as presented in her show:

TOP 5 KILLERS

#5 - Toxins
#4 - Microbial Agents
#3 - Alcohol Abuse
#2 - Obesity
#1 - SMOKING
- 1 in every 5 die of smoking related illnesses.

For me, this makes me even more happy that I have quit smoking all because of my new found friend - my PV. She even said that within 24 hours after quitting smoking, you have already reduced your chance of heart attacks and strokes.

This show can be seen on the Discovery Health channel.
