Great American Smoke-Out, Nov. 18

Great opportunity to do some promotion for stop smoking programs, Thurs. Nov. 18 is the Great American Smoke Out. I have booked a room at my local library for a Stop Smoking Workshop and may do something at a teen clinic as well. Smokers are not my best clients--I find that so often they really aren't motivated to stop--but doing a workshop is a good way to tap in to the consciousness-raising and publicity around the event.

This event is annual, the Thursday before Thanksgiving.

I find it frustrating that the American Cancer Society and American Heart Association and American Lung Association, all of which support stop smoking programs, generally belittle or dismiss hypnosis (and other effective modalities such as acupuncture) for smoking cessation. Wonder if anyone has some good evidence-based responses?
