At long last, the FDA have approved new health warnings on US cigarette packs, for implementation in September 2012. The US is the last 'developed' nation to introduce such warnings - by some considerable distance, it should be said.

On the one hand we applaud this belated public health initiative, but on the other hand we are concerned about the introduction of a prominent display of the 1-800 QUIT NOW number on pack.

1-800 QUIT NOW is run by the US government along with the www.smokefree.gov site. As my friend John Polito from www.whyquit.com observes: 'SmokeFree.gov should be renamed BuyMeds.now as smokers thinking about quitting are bombarded with 173 recommendations to purchase "medicine" or "medication".' This is particularly worrying because nearly every real-world quitting study - including one funded by the government itself - show that the vast majority of long-term quitters did so without the use of medication.

We are very grateful to the folks at www.QuitNow.ca for linking to www.TheEasywayToStopSmoking.com - they are the first Lung Assocation website in Canada to do so.
As many people know, we are a reluctantly commercial organisation. Allen tried to gift his method to the National Health Service in the UK over twently years ago, but with no success. As a result of us being 'commercial' many of the Cancer Society, Heart & Stroke Foundation and Health Canada sites will not even mention Allen Carr, despite it being the most effective method around (incidentally, this policy doesn't appear to stop them from linking to their pharmaceutical company sponsor's commercial sites!)

Thanks to the Lung Association for their trailblazing! Read More »

The link between smoking and depression is one that has been well-known for decades. But what comes first: the chicken or the egg? Are depressed smokers self-medicating or does smoking cause depression?

A study that logged the complete medical history of 1200 New Zealanders born in 1977 claims to have the answer: Nicotine addicts are over 2.3 times more likely to suffer from depression than non-smokers.

Makes perfect sense to me: having your life dominated by a four-inch stick of dried vegetation that doesn't even get you high is pretty depressing...
