Health Matters with The Medicine Center Pharmacy Paul White R.Ph. and Brad White R.Ph.

Are you considering quitting smoking, or is there someone in your life that you want to help quit smoking? When someone takes the big step of deciding to quit smoking, family, friends, and co-workers can make a huge difference by giving their help and support.
If your friend isn't quite ready to quit, try to see it from their side. For most smokers, cigarettes have been a steady companion for a long time. Some reluctance is normal, and it doesn't mean your friend won't be able to quit for good. First, let your friend know you understand their doubts, then suggest they list their reasons for quitting.
Quitting smoking is a journey and a process, not a single event. Access resources to get tips on what you can do from the start to help someone quit and to help them “stay quit.” Plan on being there for the long run and helping them meet the challenges along the way.
This morning, we will talk with Allison about the reasons to quit smoking, managing the physical effects of quitting smoking and most importantly, how to receive help and support through the process.
