November is the month to ditch tobacco, writes HankCampbell. This decade, let’s make the Great American Smokeout a thing of the past by making smoking itself a thing of the past.
Thanks to education about the risks of smoking plus cessation and harm reduction efforts, fewer American adults smoke than at any time in the last century. Today, just 14% of adult males and 11% of females are smoking cigarettes. Yet that terrific achievement is tempered by the sobering reality that more than 30 million people across the country smoke.
For America to gain the top spot, we have to think about more than nicotine. For some, the ritual or even the oral benefit matter more than the nicotine, which is why older smokers who went"cold turkey" in the past lamented weight gain. They needed to do something with their mouths once per hour so they snacked more. Many said chewing gum helped there, as it replaces the ritual without the calories. Some use apps for support.
