Everybody benefits when people stop smoking, and I think that's really important for everyone to understand is that there's no losers in this, except for, maybe, the tobacco industry, but that's okay. They can learn to do something else with it.
Ever felt like giving up on quitting smoking after a few failed attempts? You’re not alone. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods brings together Dr. Norman Edelman and Dr. Michael Jaeger to discuss the 'Quitter in You' campaign by the American Lung Association and WellPoint Inc. This initiative aims to change how people view their past attempts to quit smoking, emphasizing that each try is a step closer to success rather than a failure.
The conversation delves into the real struggles of quitting smoking, touching on the powerful grip of addiction, the influence of peer pressure, and the toll smoking takes on mental health. They also chat about how combining medication with counseling, along with techniques like motivational interviewing, can make a significant difference. The episode doesn't shy away from discussing the controversial use of graphic ads to deter smoking and highlights the undeniable benefits of quitting.
If you or someone you know is battling with smoking, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you find the quitter within you.
