HOUSE CALLS FAVORITE: QUIT IT!
You've tried to do it before, maybe several times and it just seems impossible to quit forever. Smoking is so easy to start and so difficult to stop. On this edition of House Calls, we'll speak with Billy Martin, Ph.D., Chair of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at VCU and with Alica Forehand, a smoking cessation educator formerly with the Hampton Health Department. They can answer your questions about why you can't stop smoking and give you some advice on how to successfully quit.
