Watch video quit smoking lessons during Smokeout
Imagine spending Thursday's Great American Smokeout with one of the world's leading quit smoking counselors. Imagine inviting him into your home.
Joel Spitzer of Chicago, author of “Never Take Another Puff,” has recorded 40 video quitting lessons since September 27 that are available for download at WhyQuit.com, a popular free quitting forum.
Who is Joel Spitzer and why would smokers be well advised to spend time exploring his work? Few smokers have ever met a full-time smoking cessation counselor. Fewer yet have encountered one with 30 years of clinic experience. Spitzer presented his first two-week, twelve-hour, quit smoking clinic as an American Cancer Society volunteer in 1976, and has conducted 351 clinics since.
Today Spitzer presents stop smoking clinics and seminars for the Evanston and Skokie Illinois Departments of Health. Online he serves as education director at WhyQuit, where more than 550,000 copies of his free PDF quitting book have been downloaded since August 2005. His more than 100 quitting articles are widely shared at all major online quitting forums.
Spitzer's 40 free video lessons range from how to avoid blood sugar swing symptoms such as an inability to concentrate, to understanding the emotional loss associated with quitting smoking, to preparing for one of the most vivid dreams imaginable - the smoking dream.
Will this year's Great American Smokeout be the year that you at last put your greatest weapon of all to work, your intelligence? Knowledge truly is power. Yes you can!
