    Reversing the Psychological Effect of Cigarette Ads

    Recently a woman who appeared unwell attended an open SOS meeting that I led. She was two days off the patch and lived in a household with a smoking roommate who chain-smoked indoors.  I was, that night, the only other former smoker in attendance; the other folks were recovering alcoholics, drug addicts in recovery, and persons... Read moreChevron
