CLINTON - Are you tired of
paying close to S5 a package or
over for cigarettes? Is exercise
beginning to put a little strain on
your lungs? Do you finally feel
the urge to kick the habit?
if so, the Huron -Perth Lung
Association, with the aid of the
Huron County Health Unit, have a
program for you.
The two organizations are co-
sponsoring a Countdown Stop
Smoking Program, to begin in
Clinton on October 15. The
program will run for five weeks,
with seven sessions.
Marguerite Falconer, a Public
Health Nurse with the health unit,
and the facilitator of the program,
noted the program is based on
three specific areas for smokers:
to find alternative behaviors to
smoking; to make smoking more
difficult; and to avoid smoking
situations.
"It's basically a support group,
and a self-help group. You get the
mutual help of the participants to
quit smoking, and you also get a
work book," she said, in which
participants can monitor their
behavior, and make appropriate
changes.
Participants will learn little
tricks to avoid smoking, like
chewing on sticks of celery, Mtikt.
Falconer said, adding they will be
given information on, "...good
exercise, nutrition; basically we're
looking at ways of changing
smoking behaviour by avoiding
smoking situations.
"The program sort of puts you
in charge of your own destiny,
instead of smoking taking charge
of your life, you make the
decision.
"You'll have five weeks to
unlearn old behaviors, and learn
new ones."
The program is all planned out
so that the participants actually
quit smoking by the fourth ses-
sion. In this way, Mrs. Falconer
said, the smokers can plan ahead
for their quitting day.
And the organizations boast a
high success rate, without the use
of the many stop -smoking gim-
micks that are currently on the
market.
Betty Hunter, the executive
director of the Lung Association,
had some facts to back up the
success rate. She stated, "It has a
very high success rate. Initially,
the success rate is 95 per cent at
the end of the program.
"Of course, as the months
progress, it deteriorates. After six
months, it is about 40 per cent."
Adding that the 40 per cent
figure might not sound very good,
Mrs. Hunter stated that it is
extremely high by the standards of
other quit smoking methods.
The Addiction Research Foun-
dation can also back up the story
of their success, as they did a
three year assessment of the
program, and found it was one of
the most successful methods, on a
long term basis.
Mrs. Hunter agreed that al-
though some programs and gim-
micks might work instantly to
help a smoker quit, many won't
last in the long run. However, for
participants in Countdown, she
said, `Those who do succeed,
succeed forever."
One of the main reasons the
program is successful in keeping
smokers away from cigarettes is
the fact that the quitting is done in
a group.
"The group participation of the
program is the most important
part. So many people try to do it
on their own, but it is a drug
addiction. They are drug addicts,"
Mrs. Hunter said.
Although the program is cur-
rently being offered only in Clin-
ton, Mrs. Falconer stated, "If there
is more response, it will be of-
fered where at least 10 people
want to stop smoking."
Those wishing to register for the
program, or who would just like
more information, can call the
Lung Association at 271-7500. If
it is a long distance call, they ask
interested parties to call collect.
