HMG's "A Smokefree future" Says so on page 11:-<br /><br /><i>14 Those who are most successful in quitting use a combination of behavioural and medicinal support. We want to make the most effective forms of support easily and inexpensively available to everyone. Smokers who stop smoking with NHS support are up to four times more likely to stop successfully compared with smokers who stop without any form of support.</i><br /><br />and again on 43<br /><i>4.2 Half of all quit attempts are ‘assisted quits’ – they are made by people with support from NHS Stop Smoking Services or primary care, or using over-the-counter medication. This means that the other half are ‘unassisted (cold turkey) quits’, which have the lowest chance of success. 16</i><br /><br />The reference 16 goes to spreadsheet no idea why.<br /><br />Anyways the government policy is evidence based, so it must be true.<br /><br />After all HMG are a paragon of Virtue just like Amanda Sandford.<br />----westcoast2https://www.blogger.com/profile/13832425628846431149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-87454975123633575902010-02-10T00:03:48.265+00:002010-02-10T00:03:48.265+00:00No wonder.

ASH was instrumental in securing greater government commitment to smoking cessation products in the NHS National Plan and we have helped with PR for both Zyban and Niquitin CQ." and "ASH has a small shareholding in GSK and I will be attending with others to question you and the Chairman on this situation".<br /> <br />http://www.data-yard.net/science/payoffs/ash.pdfDaveAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07249090980650806030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-10540958350732243502010-02-09T22:19:05.343+00:002010-02-09T22:19:05.343+00:00It's a load of, errm, "shoe repairers&quo...It's a load of, errm, "shoe repairers".<br /><br />o/t I just found this, up your street I'd have thought?<br />http://mrsrigbysays.blogspot.com/2010/02/all-hands-to-beer-pump.htmlMrs Rigbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06389986110372627649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-24481100620253437182010-02-09T19:49:10.200+00:002010-02-09T19:49:10.200+00:00Allan Carr claimed his method didn't require a...Allan Carr claimed his method didn't require any willpower. Nor any drugs or alternatives of any kind. He just took a bunch of people who wanted to quit into a room and talked to them.<br /><br />If ASH had any real intention of cutting down the rate of smoking, they'd have been delighted. they would also have welcomed Electrofag instead of pretending it's lethal because it looks like smoking.<br /><br />They have no such intention, of course. No smokers = nobody to control and nobody to keep buying their patches and gum.<br /><br />That's why they keep it in the news. They are advertising smoking, which is illegal, and encouraging the young to start, which is both illegal and immoral.<br /><br />Everything they do is designed to make smoking more attractive. They might ban it completely, which would be the ultimate in making it irresistible. Then they'll run both the black market and the special 'tobacco enforcement agency'.<br /><br />There is no death slow enough for them.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.com
