Become a True Believer in Nicotine Abstinence

Remember how maddening it was when you presented well-documented evidence to someone regarding an issue and the person seemingly would not - could not - hear you, acknowledge even momentarily what you were sharing/presenting?

Nicotine Addiction: Scare Yourself Straight into a New Life

Recently, I accompanied two dear friends to Amoeba, a large DVD warehouse on Sunset Boulevard. While they shopped in other areas of the two-story facility, I found my own way to the documentary section and happened upon legendary documentary, "Scared Straight!," shot in the 70's.

What Smoking CAN'T Cause

I've discovered that smoking does NOT cause good judgment. I used to think it caused good judgment, but why would I be smoking if that were true. When I was fourteen years old my judgment on just about everything was errant and sporadic at best. Hell, I'd grown up watching adults smoking in my home. Who has better judgment?

Cigarette Taxes: Do They Cut Down on Smoking?

Cigarette taxes are often increased in an attempt to curb smoking rates. When I first thought about this approach, it seemed fraught with contradictions. After all, aren’t governments benefiting from smokers by raising cigarette taxes?

I gave my talk from the stage of the beautiful Duval Auditorium of the University Medical Center on the campus of the University of Arizona.
