Do you want to quit smoking?
About 2 smokers out of 3 want to quit. Some people can do so easily, their willpower & determination being the keys to their success. But nicotine is a drug, it's highly addictive and many people struggle to give it up. Fortunately, there are plenty of ressources available to help you quit.
How can I help my spouse/child/friend/etc ... quit smoking ?
Words alone won't convince a smoker to break the habit. No matter what you do, you can't force a smoker to stop if she/he doesn't want to. But if your friend/partner/relative is one of the 2 out of 3 smokers who really want to quit, there are ways you can be supportive & make quitting a little easier for them.
We'll review the options, both the “evidence-based” ones & the others. We'll also discuss techniques to boost the motivation of “quitters”. There'll be plenty of time for questions and exchange of experiences. We hope by the end of the seminar you'll have found your solution !
