This time, I welcome Dr. Claudia Marck
as interview guest on the topic of
smoking and multiple scerosis.


We talk about how smoking increases the
risk of onset and worsenes the
prognosis. And after providing all that
evidence why you should stop, Claudia
shares best practices how to reach that
goal.


Claudia knows what she talks about, as
she managed fifteen years ago to
finally quit smoking after couple of
failures before.


This podcast episode and blog post
exist in German as well.

I want to put in context that
