If you want to stop smoking, you often have to take failure into account. The Frankfurt addiction researcher Heino Stöver therefore calls for a change in smoking behavior to be seen as a success.
First he was a group smoker. In the evening, going to the pub with friends. A cigarette here and there. At some point he became an everyday smoker. With pack in coat pocket. Last but not least, he was an addict. Someone who had to smoke, even when he didn’t want to. He tried to quit several times. He only succeeded with the birth of his daughter.

When Heino Stöver, addiction researcher and professor at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, talks about, in his words, the “inadequate tobacco prevention and smoking cessation strategies” in Germany, he does so not only from the perspective of the scientist who meticulously examines the harmful consequences of smoking can list, but also from that of a man who has held on to the flames for years.
