It can be a little awkward to ask people about their health as many aren’t too willing to give up any information. It’s also difficult to talk about if that person is aging poorly. Those that are fit often are more willing to tell you what you can do. That’s not to say if you have a relative that is still smoking and wants to tell you about the warning signs, then listen up to what they have to say.
