This up-to-date video clearly identifies the
major medical quitting methods that are currently available to anyone who wants to stop
smoking or chewing tobacco. Two teen presenters offer an overview of nicotine and its
addictive properties, as well as an explanation of the withdrawal process. The program
looks at five FDA approved methods that are commonly used today: the anti-smoking pill
(Zyban™), nicotine gum, the nicotine inhaler, nicotine nasal spray and the nicotine
patch. Quitting “cold turkey” is also explained. The pluses and minuses of each
method are reviewed by the presenters, with additional commentary from a prominent
physician who specializes in smoking cessation. Proper usage and side effects for each
method are explained in a simple, concise manner. The importance of joining a cessation
support group is also discussed. Teens learn that smokers who use nicotine replacement
therapy together with a behavioral change program double their chances of successfully
quitting. Activities in the Teacher’s Resource Book aid students as they expand their
knowledge. This video is sure to offer helpful information to any student who is
struggling to break free of tobacco addiction.
