Smokers in Milwaukee and Madison who quit gained about 10 pounds over a year but had a beneficial increase in their HDL cholesterol that likely reduced their risk of having a heart attack or stroke, according to a University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health study. The research, released Sunday, was one of several new studies on smoking Hilton presented here, including one that found that the number of adult smokers in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area declined by more than half over the last 30 years.
