The Stop Smoking Program for Women in Huron County
By Brenda Burke
T -A Reporter
Session #6: Quitting and
healing
"Control the cigarette. Don't let
it control you," Group Co -
facilitator Darlene Nelson advised
.workshop participants.
Quitting is a process, she
explained, that is often
repeated many times.
After all, she added,
it takes time to make
lifestyle. changes.
Group
Facilitator Ruth •
Cooper described
the program as one
designed to ease
smokers into
quitting. Most
women who
have taken the
Huron County
stop -smoking '
program have quit for at (cast 90
days.
Programs with strict. rules don't -
tend to work, Cooper noted,
because participants often lack the
self-discipline expected of them.
She recommended people avoid
cutting down drastically on
cigarette intake because such Action
reinforces withdrawal symptoms.
The group discussed how quitting
results in body changes such as
increased energy. Within 24 hours
of quitting. the risk of heart Itttack
is somewhat reduced and within 72.
hours, bronchial tubes relax and
eventually lung capacity increases.
Participants were instructed to
write a 'Letter from the Body,"
which expressed its needs and how
quitting smoking would provide
health benefits. The session also
included a stop -smoking video.
Because smoking interferes with
body functions, it's hard to resist
the habit, explains the video that
describes both negative and
positive values of smoking.-
Snipking affects health, creates an
offensive smell, is expensive and
socially unacceptable. Positive
aspects Of smoking center around
the relaxing, time-consuming,
emotional outlet it has been known
to provide.
Positivevalues of.quitting, on
the other hand. include a great
sense of freedom. When offered a
cigarette. one man in the video
replied repeatedly, for a number of
years, "I just don't want that one."
"You have to he willing, at least
for a while, to disturb your life,"
advises the video that also outlines
chemistry, behavioral conditioning,
psychological and social aspects of

smoking.
One drag, it warns, is like "a
spike of nicotine to the
brain...Smokers are,vcry Pavlovian-
conditiened."
Nicotine, which both soothes and
stimulates, take§ only seven seconds
to reach its target. Often people are
torn between quitting and remaining
smokers. Friends, fancily and social
restrictions may influence then and
they tend 10 quit at certain bines of
the year, for example, January,
March and September times of
change. such as when children
return to school. Often smokers quit
on their doctor's advice, when they
become pregnant or when children
or grandchildren ask thein to.
According w the video, "The
most powerful program for stopping
smoking is having a heart attack."
Those who are heavily addic:,ted
as well as individuals with medical
or mental problems, need special
care when aiming 10 quit. General
preparation for Quitting includes
setting a target date. keeping track
of cigarettes smoked and being
prepared for symptoms such as
irritability, frustration and hunger.
It's natural to mourn the loss of
smoking values, advises the video,
but learning to rcward.onesclf,
exercising, eating low-fat foods and
Nanking savings that would
normally he spent on smoking will
all help with the challenging
quitting process. ,
Session #7: Self-esteem and
smoking
Based on the theory that self-
esteem affects abilities, including
the willpower to quit smoking, this
session focused on how to build and
maintain positive thoughts.
On the decision to quit, Nelson
said it was more difficult for her to
make the choice then to follow
through with it. After the group
discussed social, mental and
physical withdrawal symptoms of
quitting, Nelson advised
participants to focus blame on the
cigarette, not themselves. If a
craving hits. she advised, wait five
minutes for it to pass; if,neccssary, .
wait longer periods of time. She
told smokers to place themselves in
a different environment when they
smoke, recommending they go
outdoors to light up, or stop the car
and get out to satisfy their urge.
Through a self-esteem exercise,
'A Day in the Life of Cindy,' the
group rtalizecj positive and
negative feedback can greatly •
affect one's. outlook. And, by
describing ' arious activities their
own hands have done, they were
made aware of positive behavior
they take part in., ' -
A 'Power' activity was
suggested, with partners finishing
sentences such as "Something I do
well is..."
The group also compiled a •
collective skills and strengths list,
.concluding women tend to
overlook their skills. A Declaration
of Self-esteem was read, and
positive self -talk was reinforced.
One suggestion-kmor'those trying
to quit: Put cigarette hutts and
ashes in a big jar. Add water and
shake. Smell it w)wn you gef,the
urge.
Session #8: Healthy weight
and physical activity
The body will heal itself faster
after quitting smoking if one is
physically active and maintains a
reasonable weight, began Cooper.
'Metabolism changes when •
people quit, she added, with
smokers generally able to burn
calories' faster than non-smokers.
She advised quitters to focus' on
one habit at a time, and to avoid a
yo-yo situation of -quitting
smoking, gaining weight and
taking up smoking to lose weight.
The importance of self-esteem
and positive self -talk was
reviewed. "Ilse group discussed
now people experience fleeting
moments of craving a cigarette,
.long afterquitting.
"It's an addiction," said Cooper.
"So, one puff and you`re hack on
the road." .
With an emphasis on Canada's
Food Guide For Healthy Eating,
the session focused on nutrition
and included knowledge tests on
•sugar, sodium and fat.
Why do people tend to eat, eat
and eat? According to workshop
participants, htiredont, fatigue.
loneliness, stress, thirst and a
search for comfort top the list of
answers. Rich and spicy foods,
Cooper noted, may cause cravings
for nicotine.
• "Rt keep the mind off food,
activities such as deep hrcathing,
drinking water, eating slower,
keeping busy. adopting positive
self -talk and exercising were
suggested.
What keeps us from making
physical activity a regular, healthy
part of our lives? Lack of an
exercise partner, energy, money or
time provide excuses as does poor
weather conditions, illness, self-
consciousness and fear of
competition. .
"ihe session concluded with an
explanation of the target heart rate
zone used for exercising.
Homework for the week included
keeping a food diary of food
choices:
"Jot down why you think you
are eating, other than true hunger,"
encourages the workshop outline.
Session #9: Celebrating and
program evaluation
The last session of the workshop
included a review of relevant
topics, breathing and stretching
exercises, program evaluation,
discussion of hopes and fears, and
certificate presentations.
