Evidence of impact on smoking cessation

Following on last week's BLOG about smoking, I attach below a link to an intervention from "Behavior Works" the former PSI US Programs based in Portland, Oregon. This intervention has some initial data linking their program with reduced rates of smoking.

Thanks to David Olson for forwarding this to me.

Today is my last day as a smoker. I'm using the latest miracle drug for smoking cessation called Chantix . Instead of trying to wean me off nicotine, it makes my brain stop "appreciating" nicotine. The plan is that I start taking the pills a week before my target quit date, which I did, and I already noticed a difference. I've been smoking substantially fewer cigarettes each day. (I used to smoke almost exactly a pack a day.) http://www.chantixhome.com/
