Download or read book Helping the Hard core Smoker written by Daniel F. Seidman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes a major new resource for professionals working with hard core smokers and their families. It is designed as a practical, clinically useful and up-to-date guide for all those in a position to intervene: mental health professionals, physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists and other health care professionals, clergy, human resource and employee assistance program corporate staff, and teachers and guidance counselors. New research suggests that difficult-to-treat smokers often have emotional problems adjusting to stopping smoking. Some also have psychiatric diagnoses or abuse other substances. These are factors which interfere with their efforts to quit. Because these difficulties have been poorly understood, hard-core smokers have not been provided with adequate resources and skills to overcome their addiction. These smokers are in need of increasingly comprehensive assessment and treatment. Despite massive public health education about the dangers of cigarette smoking, rates of smoking among the population are no longer declining in the United States and the success rates of clinical programs for smokers remain low. Helping the Hard-Core Smoker seeks to explain why current approaches are often inadequate and how best to help today's highly nicotine-dependent smokers who are struggling with their addiction quit.

Download or read book Ending the Tobacco Problem written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-10-27 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation has made tremendous progress in reducing tobacco use during the past 40 years. Despite extensive knowledge about successful interventions, however, approximately one-quarter of American adults still smoke. Tobacco-related illnesses and death place a huge burden on our society. Ending the Tobacco Problem generates a blueprint for the nation in the struggle to reduce tobacco use. The report reviews effective prevention and treatment interventions and considers a set of new tobacco control policies for adoption by federal and state governments. Carefully constructed with two distinct parts, the book first provides background information on the history and nature of tobacco use, developing the context for the policy blueprint proposed in the second half of the report. The report documents the extraordinary growth of tobacco use during the first half of the 20th century as well as its subsequent reversal in the mid-1960s (in the wake of findings from the Surgeon General). It also reviews the addictive properties of nicotine, delving into the factors that make it so difficult for people to quit and examines recent trends in tobacco use. In addition, an overview of the development of governmental and nongovernmental tobacco control efforts is provided. After reviewing the ethical grounding of tobacco control, the second half of the book sets forth to present a blueprint for ending the tobacco problem. The book offers broad-reaching recommendations targeting federal, state, local, nonprofit and for-profit entities. This book also identifies the benefits to society when fully implementing effective tobacco control interventions and policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tobacco use kills more people than any other addiction and we know that addiction starts in childhood and youth. We all agree that youths should not smoke, but how can this be accomplished? What prevention messages will they find compelling? What effect does tobacco advertisingâ€"more than $10 million worth every dayâ€"have on youths? Can we responsibly and effectively restrict their access to tobacco products? These questions and more are addressed in Growing Up Tobacco Free, prepared by the Institute of Medicine to help everyone understand the troubling issues surrounding youths and tobacco use. Growing Up Tobacco Free provides a readable explanation of nicotine's effects and the process of addiction, and documents the search for an effective approach to preventing the use of cigarettes, chewing and spitting tobacco, and snuff by children and youths.

The controversial area of tobacco advertising is thoroughly examined. With clear guidelines for public action, everyone can benefit by reading and acting on the messages in this comprehensive and compelling book.
Download or read book 7 Day Quit Smoking Challenge written by Challenge Self and published by Challenge Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take Your "7-Day Quit Smoking Challenge" Ways to Quit Smoking In 7 Days Why are you reading this? Because: - You have an insatiable desire for smoking and want to quit the nasty habit. - You want to have better youthful appearances and unstained teeth and nails. - You want to save extra money in your pocket that is going towards cigarettes. - You want your families and friends to avoid the danger of secondhand smoke. - You want to improve your overall health and lower risk of cancers and diseases. Over 42 million people smoke cigarettes in the US alone, despite numerous pieces of irrefutable evidence indicating that the practice is one that leads to an empty wallet—and a shorter life. Contrary to the common belief that these individuals are unintelligent, oblivious, or both, most smokers understand how bad smoking is for one’s long-term health and well-being—they just find it difficult to quit. You have most likely seen advertisements for medications and other chemical resources to help smokers quit. While good-hearted, these “solutions” fail to address the core problem at-hand; addiction is a mental sensation, and should be treated by resources that reflect that, as opposed to purely a chemical function. If you or someone that you know is interested in quitting smoking—not just taking a break—the "7-Day Quit Smoking Challenge" is: - A well-organized collection of simple exercises that will help kick the habit - A reliable alternative to the commonly chosen chemical-quit plans - An ultra-affordable self-help resource By simply following a set of challenges, the "7-Day Quit Smoking Challenge" can help any smoker looking to quit—in just one week, as the title suggests. Moreover, it won’t overwhelm you; the aforementioned practices found in each day take only minutes to perform, and importantly will provide ample mental assistance and coping strategies that will be instrumental in assuring that you don’t answer the call of a cigarette when the craving hits. Simply put, anyone who’s serious about taking a step towards quitting smoking should take up on the "7-Day Quit Smoking Challenge." For minutes of daily effort you can enjoy life without smoking and experience the health (and mental) benefits associated with quitting—while boasting a truly impressive achievement.
