Download or read book Smoking Cessation with Weight Gain Prevention written by Bonnie Spring and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-09-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cigarette smoking is the single greatest preventable cause of death, disease, and disability in the United States. It is the number one cancer killer of women, surpassing breast cancer. More than 70% of smokers have expressed a desire to quit, but are unable to do so alone. Independent cessation is extremely difficult, with a long-term success rate of 3-9%.Couple this difficulty with the fact that many female (and some male) smokers do not even try to quit because they are afraid of the resulting weight gain, and it seems a near impossibility for smokers to quit alone. Any amount of counseling, from even one ten-minute session, drastically improves a person's chances for cessation success. Many therapists have clients who smoke, yet they do not encourage them to quit because they feel under-equipped to help them. There are very few books for mental health workers that teach smoking cessation techniques; almost all of the books on the market are self-help based. Of those that are for the clinician, most are not user-friendly at all, and none discuss the secondary concerns of weight gain. This guide teaches therapists, in easy to follow session modules, proven methods for their clients to stop smoking, and to avoid the resulting weight gain. Structured as a 16-week group program, this treatment teaches clients to break their smoking habit first, then to avoid replacing that habit with unhealthy eating. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), this treatment emphasizes skill-building and the use of self-monitoring forms (found in the accompanying workbook) to help clients take control of their health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smoking is a habit that many people find difficult to quit. However, it is essential to stop smoking due to its harmful effects on health. The first step in quitting smoking is to acknowledge that it is an addiction, and like all addictions, it requires a significant amount of willpower and support. Nicotine patches, gum, and other cessation aids can help to reduce cravings, but the real secret to quitting smoking is to stay motivated and determined. Another vital aspect of quitting smoking is to identify the triggers that lead to smoking. For instance, you may smoke when you are stressed out or when around other smokers. Once you identify the triggers, it is important to avoid them or find alternative ways to deal with them. Drinking plenty of water, exercising, and finding other healthy habits can help to reduce cravings and keep you on track to quit smoking. Ultimately, quitting smoking is a journey that requires patience, persistence, and a positive attitude. With the right mindset and support network, anyone can successfully quit smoking and improve their health and wellbeing.
