The best approaches usually mean a combination of a support system, which we call a behavioral approach, and a pharmaceutical to combat the nicotine addiction. If you apply these together in a good circumstance, you're going to get people to quit 30% of the time.
Smoking is one of the toughest habits to break, but the American Lung Association and WellPoint Inc. are on a mission to help smokers quit for good. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods chats with Dr. Norman Edelman, Chief Medical Officer of the American Lung Association, and Dr. Michael Jaeger from WellPoint Inc., about the 'Quitter in You' smoking cessation campaign.
This initiative aims to change how people view past quit attempts, seeing them not as failures but as essential steps towards finally quitting. Dr. Edelman explains that smoking is as addictive as many narcotics, making it incredibly challenging to quit. The 'Quitter in You' campaign offers a multifaceted approach, combining behavioral support, pharmaceutical aids, and personalized tools from the American Lung Association, such as the Freedom from Smoking program and a dedicated lung helpline.
The episode dives into the importance of quitting smoking, the dangers associated with it, and the most effective strategies for overcoming nicotine addiction. Dr. Jaeger emphasizes that quitting smoking isn't easy, but with the right support system and resources, it's entirely possible. Whether you're trying to quit smoking yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you on your journey.
