Does The Great American Smokeout help smokers stop smoking in 2008?
64Cold Turkey was the only method available to stop smoking when the Smokeout began
The Smokeout was started in 1971 when Arthur Mullaney decided to stop smoking cold turkey
Cold Turkey isn't usually a permanent solution because it takes 21 days to change a habit.
The smoking habit is multifaceted and takes time to change
To stop smoking permanently you will need to change your
- behaviors
- routines
- learn how to deal with emotions
- detoxify yourself from the nicotine
- allow your body time to adjust
- change your attitude about the process of quitting
- learn how not to substitute food for smoking so you won't gain weight when you stop smoking
Are You a prisoner of your smoking habit?
Is this how you take a smoke break?
Nicotine Solutions is the only smoking cessation program that is multifaceted
I suggest that the Great American Smokeout rename itself to The Great American Easeout.
On the day of the Smokeout this year instead of being one of those smokers that runs for the hills just take some time to research what method you will be using to stop smoking rather than quitting cold turkey on that day.
Nicotine Solutions offers free intros so you can experience an approach to stopping smoking that covers the emotional, psychological, physical and behavioral aspects.

Misty,
I am soooo glad you are enjoying the class! You are so much to have in the class!!
It is all about the mindset from cigarettes are a bad habit, to the concept that you are ADDICTED to nicotine, Once I made that jump, I was able to quit successfully.
This is a certified non-smoker from Lela's class in 1993. I am afraid
one day of no smoke will not cut it...attend Lela's class now...don't wait
anymore...do it now.....a graduate....
Hi Jamster,
Thanks for commenting ..iI guess that some people like yourself just set their minds to it...It took more than that for me.
You are right your mind set is a part of it!!

Great Hub Lela, and I for one am finding your Nicotine Solutions course really beneficial. I just can't wait for the actual quit date to arrive now as I am so confident that this time I can actually do it because of the fantastic support, and assignments you are providing us all with.
