US Stop Smoking Programs

United States Department of Health and Human Services’ National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion has stated complete Tobacco Information and Prevention Source (TIPS) for the benefit of all the Americans. In fact the stop smoking programs all over the US are supported well by the American department of Health and Human Services.

From their TIPS program, they aim to educate all the American people against the harmful effects of smoking and tobacco intake. Nicotine addiction is perilous and every smoker must understand the severity of the problem before beginning a complete smoking cessation program.

According to the official stats, at least 44.5 million American adults (that makes 20.9 per cent of Americans) were smokers in 2004. And estimated 70 per cent of them were willing to quit smoking. Also, it was reported that 45.6 million of adults were formerly the smokers in 2004. This clearly states that a smoker despite sharing heavy crave for burning cigarette butts also shares a “desire” to stop smoking.

In fact more than 14 million people have quit smoking for 1 day in their unsuccessful attempt of quitting smoking, according to this report. Their cigarette failure can be attributed to the fact that cigarette smokers are physically as well as psychologically dependent on nicotine.
