Smokers trying to kick the habit are more likely to be successful if they cut back gradually and smoke on a time-based schedule that disrupts their usual smoking pattern. That's the conclusion of a smoking cessation study that was published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology.


In the study, conducted by Dr. Paul Cinciripini at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Authentic Charlie Blackmon Jersey , smokers who followed a schedule that assigned them to smoke at specific times of the day, and then to gradually increase the time between cigarettes, were far more successful quitting than smokers who tried to quit cold turkey.


Dr. Cinciripini's study is unique because it is one of the first carefully controlled studies to compare gradual reduction with cold turkey. However, gradual reduction techniques for smoking cessation are not new. For the past 30 years Authentic DJ LeMahieu Jersey , scientists at PICS, Inc., with grant funding from the National Cancer Center and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, have been developing and testing gradual reduction methods to help people quit smoking Authentic Gerardo Parra Jersey , chewing and dipping.


The culmination of this research is available in the form of a tiny hand-held computer called LifeSign® QuitKey®, a commercially available self-help program that has been tested extensively and used by over one million people in their efforts to quit smoking. (QuitKey is available from P1CS, Inc. in Reston, Virginia by calling 1-800-543-3744 which spells 1-800-LifeSign or online at www.quitkey )


According to Dr. Albert Jerome PICS Authentic Todd Helton Jersey , Inc., "The approach is effective because it attacks the two pillars of tobacco dependence: nicotine addiction and the smoking habit. Nicotine addiction is gradually eliminated because fewer and fewer cigarettes are smoked over time; and the habit is weakened because smoking on a time-based schedule breaks the link between everyday smoking cues and the experience of smoking a cigarette."


The computerized approach of LifeSign is ideal for a gradual reduction program. Users punch in their smoking habit for seven days. The computer then generates the appropriate quitting schedule automatically and prompts the user when it is time to smoke.


The use of hand-held computers has also proven effective in other areas where behavior modification is necessary to change old habits. For those who want to lose weight or reduce cholesterol, PICS, has developed DietMate Authentic Nolan Arenado Jersey , a sophisticated hand-held computer that structures a nutrition and exercise program.

Dolce and Gabbana Watches brand is now offering a fresh model available for sale, and we appreciate the styling just as much as the price tag.


Out of the name alone, you can actually tell that this particular timepiece was basically prepared predominantly for the the winter season. The Dolce and Gabbana SnowboardAspen Mens Watch is something we enjoyed on first sight. It has a sport appearance plus a kind of hip simplicity to it. Even though this is not actually a sports wrist watch (possessing no stop-watch or timer) it does look alike. Apart from that similarity, this is a classic dress timepiece Authentic Carlos Gonzalez Jersey , yet a good one without a doubt.


This specific D&G Men’s timepiece combines each of the standard elements used in nearly all Dolce and Gabbana Wrist
