Robert Plante hopes to inspire others to quit smoking on November 15, the date of the Great American Smokeout. After smoking for more than 50 years, he hasn’t smoked a cigarette since October 29, 2017. “I don’t miss it at all,” says the 71-year-old, who started smoking at age 18.
Plante was advised to quit smoking by his Dartmouth-Hitchcock (D-H) orthopaedic surgeon Marcus Coe, MD, MS. “Robert needed a hip replacement because he had severe arthritis in his left hip,” says Coe. “But in order to reduce his surgery risks, I told him he had to quit smoking. It’s hard for folks to quit, so it’s a huge testament to his resolve that he was able to do it.”
