Joel Spitzer's Past Clinics
![]() |
Joel Spitzer started conducting live smoking prevention programs in 1972 when, as a volunteer, he developed and presented his very first smoking education seminars for the American Cancer Society's Chicago Unit in the Illinois Division.
He conducted smoking cessation clinics and school based smoking prevention programs for the Good Health Program of Rush North Shore Medical Center in Skokie, Illinois from 1978 to 2000.
Joel next presented regular clinics and seminars for the Evanston Health Department (2000-2006) and the Skokie Health Department (2002-2005). Since June 2000 he has served as WhyQuit's director of education, where his work has reached millions.
In addition to presenting more than 570 smoking preventon seminars to over 92,000 children and adults, Joel presented 325 full nicotine cessation clinics with over 4,500 participants. Each six-session, 12-hour clinic spanned 13 days. Below is a list of Chicago area clinics presented by Joel.
