Getting Rid of the Smoke Screen, the report of a successful Quit Smoking program for women, will be released by IAHS CEO Dr Tony Sherbon on Tuesday, 5th February at 10.30am at Corrimal Community Centre.
The report is the result of a detailed evaluation of a number of womenonly Quit Smoking programs run at the Bulli Community Health Centre which resulted in better-than-average quit rates.
We were curious to see if this success rate had been maintained long term so in 2001 a survey of all participants in the program was conducted.
Ninety percent of the women made healthy lifestyle changes as a result of attending the program.
In comparison, gum and patches cost $32 per week on average.

To learn whether certain stop-smoking treatments can be tailored to a person's genetic makeup, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center are studying smokers' responses to two commonly prescribed pharmaceutical aids.
Smokers ages 18-65 who are committed to quitting are currently being enrolled in a free research program known as Quit for Health.
"By increasing our understanding of the role of genetic factors in tobacco use and dependence, we hope to discover better ways to prevent smoking and to help people quit," said Caryn Lerman, Ph.D., primary investigator of the study, Associate Director for Cancer Control and Population Science at the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center, and Director of the Tobacco Research Program at the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute.
