Thinking of quitting smoking? Mondays may be your day - USA Today:

"There's no such thing as a bad day to stop smoking, but a new study shows Monday is a particularly popular day to think about it – or at least Google it.

Google searches for terms such as "quit smoking help" make up a higher proportion of all searches on Mondays than on any other day . . . "

Smoking Is Too Expensive - It is time to quit

With an increase in cigarette taxes, it's no surprise many folks are deciding to quit, reports this Washington Post news article, "Cigarette Tax Rises -- And So Does Incentive to Quit." Bottomline, the most important thing a smoker can do is call this national telephone number, 1-800-QUITNOW, that connects callers to smoking cessation programs in all 50 states and D.C., and provides access to counseling and medications. I'm glad to see a surge in quitting, it's good for everybody's health.

FDA Authority Over Tobacco - desperately needed

I was watching this interesting Fox News video, "Tobacco Time," about the effects of smoking on aging. I typically expect to hear how smoking shortens your life. However, this video has a twist, and cites recent National Cancer Institute research, reporting that smoking ages your body 10 years beyond your chronological age.

In any event, while googling for more smoking information, I stumbled across the topic about efforts to put tobacco products under the authority of the FDA. My reading started with this Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids Special Report, "FDA Authority Over Tobacco - Legislation Will Protect Kids and Save Lives." It frames the issue well, and explains the legislative context. This article has been recently updated, reporting successful passage of legislation in the House, "U.S. House Casts Historic Vote to Protect Kids from Tobacco, Save Lives; Senate Should Act This Year and President Should Sign Bill Into Law." It reports, "this legislation would grant the FDA strong and effective authority over the manufacturing, marketing and sale of tobacco products."

Menthol in Cigarettes - Cig makers might've played you! (video)

View the MSNBC video above or read this NY Times article, "Study Finds Manipulation of Menthol Levels." If you smoke, or you've started to, you might be getting manipulated. More specifically, a just published study from Harvard states that cigarette manufacturers might be, "manipulating sensory elements of cigarettes to promote initiation and dependence." If you need help to stop smoking (smoking cessation), here's a good place to start, Smoking and Tobacco Use -How To Quit (on the CDC website).
