How can a group cessation program help me to quit smoking?

After someone has tried on their own to quit, it's really a good idea to get support and be with other people who are doing it right along side you. You get insights from them, you can watch things that don't go right in someone else's life and go "Oh, I want to avoid that". So I encourage people and I actually treat smokers in small groups, because I think they are very effective in how they hold each other accountable. There's usually an instructor whose worked with lots of people or has specific training in smoking cessation, and who can help you figure out what it is that your triggers that you haven't recognized and how to get over barriers.
