Pharmaceutical industry researchers, consultants and lobbyists are hard at work attempting to make replacement nicotine as available and convenient as cigarettes. There is currently a petition pending at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to allow replacement nicotine to be sold in convenience stores in much smaller daily dose packs beside cigarettes.

That's amazing. Although the decline was associated with many factors, the one that's different from almost all other nations is this addiction warning:

Scare tactics have a bad reputation because of how they were used or more misused in the past. When you exaggerate the risks of anything, and a person finds out the real facts, it makes the whole message appear to be an exaggeration, if not an outright lie. Saying a dangerous substance does something that it does not do makes the listener disregard what the substance really does.

By this definition, quit smoking materials needs no... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Joel) http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23005 Mon, 22 Apr 2002 14:16:00 GMT <![CDATA[ Helping Others To Quit Smoking - Key Questions? ]]> http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23004/t/Helping-Others-To-Quit-Smoking-Key-Questions-.html

I notice some people respond to other members pleas for help with comments like, "Please don't smoke." I am not saying not to do it, but I want to point out something that was once said to me by a clinic graduate that really seemed to make a difference to him in joining in my program and staying in it. He pointed out that I never once made a plea or request of him or any of the people in his clinic not to smoke.

Over the years I have seen numerous members thrust into my program, totally against their wills who still manage to succeed in quitting smoking.
