Imagine being a smoker, wanting to quit and bringing a professional quitting counselor into your home. Imagine being a doctor and instead of just telling smoking patients that they need to quit - something they all already knew - handing them a video disc containing more than twenty short counseling sessions.
A growing collection of quitting videos is being made available by Joel Spitzer, a full-time Chicago area smoking cessation counselor who has devoted more than 30 years to helping smokers break free.
Lessons range from understanding the emotional loss when quitting to the importance of maintaining stable blood sugar levels and avoiding low blood sugar symptoms. Spitzer helps quitters understand how each puff of nicotine fed them by pumping stored sugars and fats into their bloodstream and the need to return to eating normally again.
The lessons are shared as Windows media video files (wmv) in three formats: (1) higher resolution videos for those with high speed Internet access, (2) lower resolution videos for those using dial-up connections, and (3) as audio lessons which allow for quicker download.
The video and audio lessons are available in Joel's Library at WhyQuit.com. Users are encouraged to burn sharable disks for family members, friends, co-workers or patients.
When burning disks you may wish to include a copy of "Never Take Another Puff,' Joels free 149 page PDF quitting book or any of scores of other lessons shared at WhyQuit.
The only use requirements are that there never be any charge or cost to those receiving WhyQuit's materials, that they always remain as freely available as they are online, and that copyrights remain in place so that those receiving them never attempt to profit from their use.
Joel Spitzer presents regular stop smoking clinics and seminars for the Evanston and Skokie Illinois Departments of Health. Since 1976 he has presented 351 two-week, six-session clinics and nearly 600 single session seminars. Online, Spitzer has served as WhyQuit's Director of Education since 2000. More than 503,678 copies of "Never Take Another Puff," his free quitting book, were downloaded from August 2005 and September 2006.
