Smokers trying to kick the habit are more likely to be successful if they cut back gradually and smoke on a time-based schedule that disrupts their usual smoking pattern. That's the conclusion of a smoking cessation study that was published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology.
In the study, conducted by Dr. Paul Cinciripini at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, smokers who followed a schedule that assigned them to smoke at specific times of the day, and then to gradually increase the time between cigarettes Brook Lopez Kids Jersey , were far more successful quitting than smokers who tried to quit cold turkey.
Dr. Cinciripini's study is unique because it is one of the first carefully controlled studies to compare gradual reduction with cold turkey. However, gradual reduction techniques for smoking cessation are not new. For the past 30 years, scientists at PICS, Inc., with grant funding from the National Cancer Center and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, have been developing and testing gradual reduction methods to help people quit smoking Julius Randle Youth Jersey , chewing and dipping.
The culmination of this research is available in the form of a tiny hand-held computer called LifeSign® QuitKey®, a commercially available self-help program that has been tested extensively and used by over one million people in their efforts to quit smoking. (QuitKey is available from P1CS, Inc. in Reston, Virginia by calling 1-800-543-3744 which spells 1-800-LifeSign or online at www.quitkey )
According to Dr. Albert Jerome PICS, Inc., "The approach is effective because it attacks the two pillars of tobacco dependence: nicotine addiction and the smoking habit. Nicotine addiction is gradually eliminated because fewer and fewer cigarettes are smoked over time; and the habit is weakened because smoking on a time-based schedule breaks the link between everyday smoking cues and the experience of smoking a cigarette."
The computerized approach of LifeSign is ideal for a gradual reduction program. Users punch in their smoking habit for seven days. The computer then generates the appropriate quitting schedule automatically and prompts the user when it is time to smoke.
The use of hand-held computers has also proven effective in other areas where behavior modification is necessary to change old habits. For those who want to lose weight or reduce cholesterol Brandon Ingram Youth Jersey , PICS, has developed DietMate, a sophisticated hand-held computer that structures a nutrition and exercise program.

The Great Barrier Reef is home to more than a few million species of marine animals, from fishes, plant life, microorganisms and marine mammals. The diversity can be credited to the fact that the reef is home to the biggest living community in the world, corals. The corals give life to most fishes by providing a place for them to spawn their young and also to protect them while they are growing up.
Some of its residents have adopted a life-long mecca of traveling upstream from their birthplace, grow Kobe Bryant Youth Jersey , and then go back to the coral reef, like a reverse-version of the North Hemisphere salmons. Others make it their lifetime commitment to journey oceans beyond continents, and sometimes spending their whole youth to make the trip back and forth. And the more extreme of the two, is that the parents star the almost-endless journey, with their children finishing it for them. In fish, there is humanity as well.
It was through this idea that salt water fly fishing took off. The idea of several salt water sports fish congregating on this nexus of marine life gave birth to the idea of fishing the great ones for fun and for the challenge of it. Some of the larger sports fish can certainly give even the most experienced of anglers quite the challenge. These fishes are ranked according to agility Brook Lopez Youth Jersey , strength, mass and for some, even intelligence (because apparently, fishes ARE getting smarter over the next generation).
The culture of specialized rods and reels, baits, and lures began with fly fishing. A good fly fisher Julius Randle Womens Jersey , when going on a fishing expedition, would not fail to stash his favored rod inside his camper van or motor home. Tackles and lures are maintained in their boxes, ready to be used should the good sportsman find an excellent watering hole beside the highway during his road trip. Of course, the wading suit and his trusty fisherman's hat should also always be by his side (or inside the dashboard, whichever works for the dedicated sportsman).
Fishing trips for salt water tappies are often done around random months, since while one specie of fish would swim to other waters Brandon Ingram Womens Jersey , another group would come and replace them. Prized marlins, swift sailfishes, small blacks, dorado, red emperors, even sharkies and a slew of other fishes that will bite the long line all converge here Magic Johnson Womens Jersey , as if baiting the fishermen who bait the fish themselves.
