Dr. Goldberg:
Some people will buy a good pair of walking shoes and take a walk, and I really feel I need to help most of the women I see who have to quit smoking because it’s the hardest thing for women to do. Clearly it’s better if you never smoke, but it’s really hard to quit, and so we have to work with those women on how they quit, and I use a whole range of things in this practice from medicines and nicotine replacement to smoking cessation groups and even have recommended women to hypnosis.
