Now that the holidays are over it's time to get back to business. This week we will be going back into the studios to tape our first show for 2009. No ifs, ands, or butts about it, we address the hardest addiction of all to quit- tobacco. We will be joined in the studio by guests from Seton Health and get an insight to this addiction, of which 85% of individuals who smoke want to quit.Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in our country. Besides nicotine, there are over 4,000 additional substances in tobacco smoke that affect one's body. The success rate of quitting smoking without help is only 5-6%. It is equal in addictive qualities to heroine and cocaine.
We will address issues of how nicotine effects the body as well current nicotine replacement treatments. Here's to a happy, healthy 2009 one day at a time.
