Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWEB) January 21 2004--To reduce
the negative health effects of smoking, everyone knows the
best thing to do is to quit. Public health authorities do
not endorse either smoking fewer cigarettes or switching
to lower tar and nicotine brands as a satisfactory way of
reducing risk. In fact, one of the required cigarette warnings
for packages and advertisements in the U.S. now is, "SURGEON
GENERAL'S WARNING: Quitting Smoking Now Greatly Reduces
Serious Risks to Your Health."
In spite of the continuing release of information relative
to the serious potential health consequences of tobacco
consumption and label warnings, one in four Americans continues
to smoke. Individual states have generally done a creditable
job of getting information into the hands of smokers, as
evidenced by the fact that half of smoking Americans have
tried to quit smoking within the last year. But they have
not succeeded.
While it can be very difficult to quit smoking, there
are some tips to help.
“Today’s Family,” a production of Platinum Television
Group, a leading producer of educational programming for
the modern market, recognizes the urgency of this subject,
and will produce segments on individual states’ anti-marketing
efforts and provide tips and tools that smokers can employ
to increase their chances of success.
The show will feature different approaches to dealing
with the problems of smoking
cessation, and will examine the outstanding characteristics
of each. What works, and for whom, and why? Various aspects
of quitting smoking will be considered for each program
and will cover topics such as:
