Quitting smoking has become increasingly difficult for many hard-core smokers; especially if they accept the usual diagnosis for this dangerous behavior -- not to mention, the bafflegab offered by pharmaceutical companies, politicians, and lawyers. http://www.wdslibrary.com/BlogCigarettes Smoking Cessation Copyright 2005 C. Weisbrod http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss en-us Fri, 12 Oct 2007 17:42:20 -1000 Wed, 3 Jan 2007 17:42:20 -1000 I started with instructions for my mini-screen Show Notes. Next was a revisit in which I trashed the newest anti-smoking prescription drug. I then narrate the pre-course message and play a bit of the Allegory Method from the original recording. http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc10s.mp3 podcast http://askcarl.net/Blog.html Fri, 12 Oct 2007 17:42:20 -1000 In this issue, I attack Pfizer Pharmaceuticals with their newest snake-oil preparation called Chantix. I had a scratchy voice as a result of a virus. The SKYPE program is no longer available. http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc9s.mp3 podcast http://www.askcarl.net/BlogCigarettes.html#1-3-7 Wed, 3 Jan 2007 17:42:20 -1000 [10-17-06] I began by grumbling about people that like to argue without having the facts at their disposal. I discussed radiating spheres of knowledge. I complained about those that put out really bad information about cigarette smoking. I wondered out loud how many people would quit smoking if they knew what I knew. I talked about secular and non-secular bases of information. I mentioned evolution and a new book about Charles Darwin that is very enlightening. I discussed the Latin roots of scientific terms, specifically the earth sciences. http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc8s.mp3 podcast http://www.askcarl.net/BlogCigarettes.html#10-19-6 Wed, 3 Jan 2007 17:27:37 -1000 This starts with a discussion of cigarettes as a scandal of epic proportions, something I've talked about before. I read from a 1981 book, Conceptual Problem Solving, in which I first published the formula approach to problem-solving. I then outline a radical concept for offering my services in which everything but the consultation is offered free. http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc7s.mp3 podcast 28E411D1-6592-42AF-9641-89FE778D7E96 Fri, 8 Sep 2006 22:17:38 -1000 8-08-06 I started with a compact but comprehensive over-view of the cigarette smoking issue in general. I offered some rare in-sights only a smoking cessation therapist would know. I talked again about the political and economic factors surrounding smoking. I complained about the role of a popular US Surgeon General in a misdiagnoses of smoking behavior that many believe is fact. Toward the end, I reviewed the five previous podcast shows in preparation for submission to the archive program. http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc6s.mp3 Podcast http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc6s.mp3 Tue, 8 Aug 2006 10:43:34 -1000 I forgot to add this at recording time. I talked about the "it" factor, the 21st Amendment, and a bunch of other stuff. The show is just under 13 minutes. http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc5s.mp3 podcast http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc5s.mp3 Tue, 8 Aug 2006 10:00:42 -1000 In this show, I updated the newer procedures for using my smoking elimination program. I also shamelessly pitched some of my other programs. http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc4s.mp3 podcast http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc4s.mp3 Sun, 30 Apr 2006 16:51:25 -1000 I start the show by quoting from "Cigarette Smoking eBook." I outline the use of a bell-shaped curve to understand how polarity locks-in the flow of incorrect information. http://www.wdslibrary.com/BlogCigarettes.html Podcast http://www.wdslibrary.com/QuitSmoking.xml Fri, 23 Sep 2005 07:54:00 -1000 I discussed published material standing the test-of-time, switching from a mail-out program to on-line mp3s. I also talked about the decision-making process. http://www.wdslibrary.com/BlogCigarettes.html Podcast Thu, 18 Aug 2005 07:32:30 -1000 Withholding information that would support hard-core smokers to kick the habit ... is NOT a conspiracy. Rather, it's simply the temptation of big money and special interests taking precedent over individual health concerns. http://www.wdslibrary.com/BlogCigarettes.html Wed, 13 Jul 2005 16:31:48 -1000
