Kick Cigarette Butts Today for the Great American Smokeout®
~A day sponsored by the American Cancer Society to promote smoking cessation~

Reno, Nev. - The 34th Great American Smokeout® takes place Thursday, November 19, 2009. The Great American Smokeout® is an annual event that encourages Americans to quit tobacco smoking. The event challenges people not to smoke cigarettes for 24 hours, hoping their decision to quit will last forever.

Reno's Glenn Hausenfluke N.D., a nationally recognized expert, has partnered with The Great American Smokeout® in an effort to promote smoking cessation. Dr. Glenn has been helping people successfully quit smoking since 1977 and developed The Habit Breaker Stop Smoking Program, which shows a 90% long-term success rate.

With Dr. Glenn's program, the smoker goes through a 13 day pre-treatment period that strengthens the body in the areas that have been depleted by the smoking habit so that the body begins to reject the cigarettes before the smoker ever lays a cigarette down. If the smoker follows the program, by the time they actually quit, there are virtually no withdrawal symptoms. The program uses no drugs, no nicotine replacement, and no hypnosis. For a closer look, Dr. Glenn is offering free seminars on The 10 Most Destructive Myths about Quitting Smoking at Whole Foods on Thursday, November 19th at 10:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., and 2:00 p.m. Each seminar lasts one hour. For more information contact Glenn Hausenfluke N.D. at DrGlenn@inbox.com or (888) 452-9355.

Regarding nicotine replacement Dr. Glenn remarks, "Nicotine is 6-8 times more addictive than alcohol. Now, you wouldn't treat an alcoholic with little bits of alcohol each day. Why would people think that treating a smoker with small doses of nicotine would work? What it does is maybe eliminate the habit, but it actually strengthens the addiction to nicotine. With our program, we work on the reason a person smokes, thereby eliminating both the cause and the symptom".

Important facts about tobacco use:
• Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the U.S.
• Cigarette smoking accounts for about 443,000 premature deaths - including 49,400 in nonsmokers.
• Thirty percent of cancer deaths, including 87 percent of lung cancer deaths, can be attributed to tobacco.

We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation's largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing about $3.4 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. As a result, about 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year.
