Beyond Cold Turkey: Tobacco Quitting Methods (#108)
This program identifies the major medical methods currently available to anyone who wants to stop smoking or chewing tobacco. Two teen presenters offer an overview of nicotine and its addictive properties, as well as an explanation of the withdrawal process. The program looks at FDA approved methods that are commonly used today. Quitting “cold turkey” is also explained. Teens learn that smokers who use nicotine replacement therapy together with a behavioral change program double their chances of successfully quitting.
