100 over 60 is not to low as long as you don't feel dizzy, especially when you stand up. Since you quit smoking you may not need as strong of a medication. I would talk to the doctor about it.

Richard,
Sure you can drop your BP without drugs. And congratulations on doing it with just smoking cessation...
Weight loss, teetotalling, and salt restriction are three more aids to a naturally low BP...with weight loss being the FAR most beneficial IMHO.
