Being that it is the week of World No Tobacco Day, I thought it might be a good idea to bring materials up to address much of the marketing that is going to be aimed at smokers wanting to during this time period. The increases in advertising and media kind of coverage that occurs may in fact result in more people starting to think about smoking cessation. Unfortunately, many are going to get side tracked into the marketing blitz of products to buy to quit as opposed to getting any real education or help in understanding how to quit and how to stay off. Being that we have the potential of having more people finding their way to Freedom this week I will be keeping many of our educational materials and information supporting cold turkey quitting near the top. For the record, quitting smoking and staying smoke free is as simple as just stopping smoking and then making and sticking to a personal commitment to never take another puff!
