November Is a Great Time to Quit Smoking
November is a great time to try again to kick the smoking habit.
I say "again" because, as a 30-year-smoker who tried to quit for
25 of those years, I'm pretty sure all smokers try to quit again
and again.
During November, carrying on the work of journalist Peter
Jennings, ABC News is presenting a series of reports on quitting
smoking and lung cancer prevention.
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month and November 17th is the
American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout. It's a
perfect time for the 51 million Americans who still smoke
cigarettes to make a serious effort at quitting so they won't be
part of the 160,000 who die from smoking each year in the U.S.

There is help, especially during November
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National
Cancer Institute, and the North American Quitline Consortium is
providing resources to help people quit smoking. There's a
national network of quitlines, 1-800-QUIT-NOW, which
automatically connects callers to their state-based quitlines,
and to the Web site smokefree.gov for additional
resources on quitting and lung cancer.
ABCNews.com'is devoting a portion of its Web site to "Quit to
Live: Fighting Lung Cancer." The section includes links to
smoking cessation resources; and a "Quitters Blog" documenting
peoples' attempts to quit smoking.
The Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout helps smokers quit
cigarettes for at least one day, in hopes they will quit forever.
A big mistake
Smoking cigarettes was the biggest mistake of my life.
To quit, I tried everything from shock therapy to hypnosis. My
wife left me in a motel in my underwear for days so I couldn't
buy cigarettes. I finally was able to quit during a 10-day
hospital stay with a collapsed lung. Something about having a
steel rod shoved into my chest with no anaesthetic to reinflate
the lung made me really want to quit.
But the damage was done. Chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and
worst of all, allowing my wife's and daughter's lungs to be
polluted year after year by my second-hand smoke.

The primary cause of lung cancer is tobacco smoke. Today, lung
cancer deaths are falling in states with strong tobacco control
laws.
Chemicals and nicotine
The Cancer Society says cigarette smoke contains 4,000
chemicals, including 43 known to cause cancer. The tobacco burns
while a cigarette is smoked, exposing the smoker and others to
these deadly chemicals, tars and gases.
Nicotine does not cause cancer, but it does keep many people
addicted to smoking. Each puff of a cigarette delivers a
concentrated dose of nicotine straight to the brain -- and
reinforces the need for the next puff.
Even after you've given up nicotine, you may still want to
smoke. To maximize your chances of staying smoke-free for good,
you need a plan.
The Cancer Society can help
you come up with a plan, taking you step by step through making
the decision, preparations, and following through.
Moving from one step to the next requires careful thought and
preparation. And, no, it won't be easy. But this time, this
month, it might just work.
Watch the news. Think about it. Call the quitline. Work on your
plan.
It's a great time to try again.
