By the time Brian was 11 years old, he was already smoking close to a pack of cigarettes a day. In this video from CDC’s _Tips_ _From_ _Former_ _Smokers_ ® ( _Tips_ ® ) campaign, he talks about how he smoked during his youth, marriage, and throughout his career in the U.S. Air Force. He had a heart attack at age 35 and spent months in hospital rooms. Brian died in 2022 at age 68 after suffering from smoking-related health problems for more than 30 years.
