What about smoking – is there help?

Yes, there is help for smokers. Different people do better with different methods.

      You have five choices of medications that are currently approved:

  • A non-nicotine pill (bupropion SR).
  • Nicotine gum.
  • A nicotine inhaler.
  • A nicotine nasal spray.
  • Nicotine patch.

The gum and patches are available at your local pharmacy, or you can ask your health care provider to write you a prescription for one of the other medications. The good news is that all five medications have been shown to be effective in helping smokers who are motivated to quit.

How can I help my teen break free from internet,computer,game addiction?

        A growing trend is internet computer addiction among teens. It is not a positive trend, unfortunately, but negative.

Most teens are commonly addicted to computer games or more dangerously chat rooms. Internet computer addiction among teens is very similar to other teenage addictions, such as alcohol or tobacco.
