“A stitch in time, saves nine,”–what are those nine savings I do not know. But, I know one thing for certain that right things done at the right time, save you lots of trouble. Any problem of the human beings needs to be treated at three levels. Physical level, mental level and intellectual level. Intelligent counseling targets the intellectual levels of an individual. If done at the appropriate time, it will give results. Anti smoking counseling, is one of the surest medical services, that has capacity to chisel a new man, out of the nicotine addict.
The preventive methods, unfortunately do not reach the entire targeted audience Which means, the profit rate of counseling is as not much as it is expected to be. “These gaps in care should be closed for the benefit of everyone,” said Dr. Jeffrey Koplan, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which sponsored the study. The study is published in the July issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
When you are stressed in life,cigarettes pose as if they are your friends. But are they really? Are they capable of de -stressing you permanently? The answer is in the negative.
