The View's Rx To Stop Smoking!

                            Quit Smoking Like Whoopi!

Whoopi Goldberg appeared on "The Wendy Williams Show"
today and the subject of quitting smoking came up.

Ms. Goldberg admitted she enjoyed it and wasn't ready to give 
it up, but a fan, (a young man) who's suffering from Cystic Fibrosis,
said -"I just want to breathe better!"
Well, that one statement was enough to get Ms. Goldberg to
make another attempt at quitting for good.
She didn't go the cold turkey route like a lot of people, 

she cut down from 20 to 15 to 10 and then to 5 and finally
1. She also used the 21'st century form of therapy as well, 

what was it?
She asked her followers on Twitter if they wanted to help each
other and quit as a group.

It seems to be working, Ms. Goldberg says it's been about a yr.
now since her last cigarette.
If you're in the same spot as Ms. Goldberg was in last yr. and you really
want to stop, then try the new and improved method that's winning rave
reviews.

What is it?
Phone calls as in phone therapy sessions.
That's right- you may not have thousands of Twitter followers
like Ms. Goldberg and you may not want to reach out online,
and that's okay- and for you, there's 
the old standyby of calling
someone to 
talk to. 
But there's a catch, what is it?
You have to ask the counselors to call you and not the other way around.
New research says that people who get calls from counselors (as
opposed to calling up the counselors) are more likely to quit
the nasty habit for good.

So, if you've been struggling with this addiction for years or decades
and you want to put an end to it, go online to Google.com
and look for smoke cessation telephone counselors or ask your
Dr. if they know of any proactive quit lines.

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Rx To Quit Smoking For Good!

                   Exercise Rx To Quit Smoking! 

If you're a fan of the T.V. show-"The View" then you're aware
that co-host Whoopi Goldberg is trying to stop smoking...again.
Ms. Goldberg is lucky that she's able to afford alternative treatments
that a lot of folks can't afford. Plus, she has the eyes of millions of people
watching her and that may or may not be a good thing.

One thing Ms. Goldberg should try is exercise.
Yes exercise, over 1, 000 people who were followed while trying to 

quit smoking, named exercise as the best remedy that helped them
avoid lighting up...for good.

Why exercise? A brisk walk, a bike ride or swimming for 30 mins.
helps you boost endorphins, the feel good chemicals your brain 

produces. And since you're getting them (the endorphins) from exercise 
and not smoking, you're more likely to stick with it.

So, if you too, are struggling like Ms. Goldberg and want to quit for
good, look into walking, bike riding or doing some power yoga
3 to 5 times a week.

Good Luck!
