Joel has been helping me prepare to present effective cessation seminars to prisoners in institutions that are going tobacco-free and this thread was part of my assigned reading. Yes, even after seven and a half years of studying under him he keeps drilling us with lessons ; )
Anyway, today I called the most renouned inpatient smoking cessation program in the U.S. to ask their rate and was told that their 7 day stay... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (John (Gold)) http://ffn.yuku.com/sreply/235853 Thu, 19 Jul 2007 23:25:00 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Being locked up to quit smoking ]]> http://ffn.yuku.com/reply/235849/t/Being-locked-up-to-quit-smoking.html#reply-235849 I have been working under the false perception that most cardiac patients have been being locked up and basically detoxed from nicotine in hospitals over the past ten years since smoking was not allowed in hospitals and as far as I knew most doctors wouldn't put a patient hospitalized with cardiac problems on nicotine replacement. I know when I worked in hospitals this practice did not happen. Apparently things have changed though, as is evident by this article:

No one needs to be locked up or avoid day to day rituals in order to sustain his or her quit. Everything you did as a smoker you can still do as an ex-smoker. The way to continue to prove this premise to yourself is to go on facing your day to day life while continuing to stick to your commitment to never take another puff!

Unfortunately, avoiding the real world is not the way to really learn how to function in that world without smoking. The following comment lifted from the day after new years post covers this issue:

My father had a heartattack the day before this past Thanksgiving. He was in ICU for a little over six weeks and spent a few weeks in a Nursing Home. During this whole time he was smoke free. I talked to him a few times on the phone and he was so excited about not smoking and about two hours after he left the Nursing Home he bummed a cig. Even though I was smoking at the time I was furious at him. Now I'm just... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (BubblyDoodlebug Gold) http://ffn.yuku.com/sreply/235820 Sun, 15 Jun 2003 19:00:00 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Being locked up to quit smoking ]]> http://ffn.yuku.com/reply/235819/t/Being-locked-up-to-quit-smoking.html#reply-235819 If ever before, and even stronger right here right now, I can see how staying successful is all about CHOICE!

I saw a program on T.V the other night about a doctor who has a program where he
puts heroin addicts to sleep so they don't go through withdrawls. He keeps them medicated so they don't get any symptoms. And guess what? He was perplexed as to why he only had a 2% sucsess rate. The patients would go right back out and not change a behavior but expect to be "healed". Sad, but your right on.

I do think there are some clinics out there that do basically lock up people to quit smoking. But I wouldn't put much stock in the technique. We lock up people all the time in our hospital and don't let people smoke. It's not in our smoking clinic; it's in our intensive care unit.
