The baby boomers, individuals born between 1946 and 1964, post-WWII, have better access
h h h h h h h h h h h h
to medication and treatment regimens than other cohorts. They have had the benefit of the
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
development of immunizations against communicable diseases. They grew up in an era of
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
prosperity post-WWII. However, there was a lack of importance placed on what we now
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
consider healthy living when they were younger. Smoking, for example, was not condoned,
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
but was considered a symbol of status. Candy in the shape of cigarettes was popular, and
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
therewas much secondhand smoke.
