IT ADDRESSES BOTH THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND THE PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES OF SMOKING
Most programs focus on one or the other, but The Change Program combines the best of both approaches. The research is very clear that the combination produces greater success than either one by itself.

IT WAS DESIGNED FROM A SMOKER'S PERSPECTIVE
Only a former smoker can appreciate how challenging it can be to become a nonsmoker. The Change Program was developed by a psychologist who used to smoke a pack and a half a day, so he is keenly aware of how unpleasant it is to be preached to, scared, or made to feel guilty or ashamed for smoking. You will find none of this here…only positive suggestions for change.

RECEIVE NEEDED SUPPORT WITHOUT ATTENDING MEETINGS
Research shows rather convincingly that positive social support helps to make lifestyle changes easier and more effective. However, many people do not have a group available to them, are shy, do not have the time to travel to meetings, or just do not like groups. We show you how to enlist positive support from your family and friends, so you do not have to attend meetings. You can also find support by using our chat room, which was established for that purpose.
