Smoke Often, Die Young

Rather than target smokers, Smoke Often. Die Young gives friends and loved ones the ammunition they need to help someone quit and guide them through the various stages of withdrawal. . . Two heads are better than one. So set aside some time to bang noggins with your friend. The path to quitting is tough, but it's much easier when a smoker doesn't have to go it alone. EDUCATE AND CREATE THE DESIRE TO QUIT. Use your personal influence. If you're an employer, offer a bonus. It works. MAKE A PLAN. Prepare your friend for tapering for the stages of withdrawal, and prepare yourself for the objections you'll face along the way. QUIT. Keep your friend focused on the reasons she's quitting. Be there when the craves hit and the irritability bubbles up. Encourage your friend to visit a doctor.

Weekly Warning

Is there a smoker or smokeless tobacco user in your life? Would you like to see them kick the habit? Persuading a friend or family member to give up tobacco is a difficult task. How much can you preach before you annoy them? How do you know what to say? WEEKLY WARNING can help. For over two years we have been helping people motivate their loved ones to kick the habit. WEEKLY WARNING sends a constant stream of poignantly written warning messages directly to the tobacco user in your life for an entire year. We send the messages anonymously or we will include your name -- your choice. The messages are sent on brightly colored and boldly printed postcards or sent by Email; again -- your choice. Week after week, different and medically current, each message is a factual and frightening reminder of the health risks and often catastrophic results of smoking or smokeless tobacco use.
